I Was a Kaleidoscope - Death Cab For Cutie

I put on my overcoat and walked into winter
我披上大衣踏入寒冬
My teeth chattered rhythms
牙齿打着寒颤的节拍
And they were grouped in twos and threes
三三两两此起彼伏
Like a Morse code message was sent from me to me
像摩斯密码在体内传递
And cars on slippery slopes were stuck
滑坡上车辆寸步难行
People pushing through their mittens
人们戴着厚手套推车
As I was beginning
而我正开始感受
To feel it soaking through my shoes
刺骨雪水渗入鞋中
Getting colder with every step I took
每一步都让寒意更甚
To your apartment dear
走向你公寓的路上 亲爱的
I was a kaleidoscope
我如同万花筒般迷离
The snow on my lenses distorting the image
镜片上的雪模糊了视线
Of what was only one of you
本应清晰的你身影
And I didn't know which one to address
我却不知该注视哪一个
As all your lips moved
当你双唇轻启时
And this is when I forget to breathe
此刻我竟忘记了呼吸
And all the things I scripted
所有精心准备的台词
They sound unfounded
此刻都显得苍白无力
And it's that look that you're giving me
而你凝视我的眼神
That tells me exactly what you are thinking
早已道尽你心中所想
"This ain't working anymore"
"我们再也回不去了"
They got their mothers worked into a panic
他们让母亲们惊慌失措
Sledding down hills into oncoming traffic
乘着雪橇冲向来往车流
And parents layered clothes
父母们裹紧层层冬衣
Until the children couldn't move then
直到孩子们冻得无法动弹
And left them outside until their noises were blue
将他们留在门外 直到哭喊声都发青
And I got left there too
而我也被遗忘在那里
I put on my overcoat and walked into winter
我披上大衣踏入寒冬
My teeth chattered rhythms
牙齿打着寒颤的节拍
And they were grouped in twos and threes
三三两两此起彼伏
Like a Morse code message was sent from me to me
像摩斯密码在体内传递
