death cab for cutie - i was a kaleidoscope (band demo) lyrics
[verse 1]
i put on my overcoat and walked into winter
my t++th chattered rhythms
and they were grouped in twos or threes
like a morse code message was sent from me to me
and cars on slippery slopes, they’re stuck
people pushing through their mittens as i was beginning
to feel it soaking through my shoes
getting colder with every step
i took to your apartment, dear
[chorus]
and i was a kaleidoscope
the snow on my lenses distorting the image
of what was only one of you
and i didn’t know which onе to address as all your lips moved
[post+chorus]
and this is when i forgеt to breathe
and all the things i scripted, they sound unfounded
and it’s that look that you’re giving me
that tells me exactly what you are thinking
this ain’t working anymore
[verse 2]
they got their mothers worked into a panic
sledding down hills into oncoming traffic
then parents layered clothes until the children couldn’t move
and then left them outside ’til their noses were blue
and i got left there, too
[outro]
i put on my overcoat and walked into winter
my t++th chattered rhythms
and they were grouped in twos or threes
like a morse code message was sent from me to me
