Lyrics
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 were 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
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 one to address, as all your lips moved
And this is when I forget 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"
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
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
