I Was a Kaleidoscope

[Verse 1] I put on my overcoat and walked into winter My teeth 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 teeth chattered rhythms And they were grouped in twos or threes Like a Morse code message was sent from me to me
