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. 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. 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. This is when I forget breathe all the things I scripted, they sound unfounded. And the look that you're giving me, it 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 The parents layered clothes until the children couldn't move then kept them Outside til their noises 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.
This record, as a whole, is an absolute masterpiece. But if you twisted my arm, I’d say this is my favorite track with a close 2nd being “We Laugh Indoors”…I’m probably the only one who loves this album more than Transatlanticism…
This video has been up for almost three years and has been viewed by almost 30,000 people. And I am first. Quite Extraordinary. And THIS SONG IS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
Long time death cab fan and I always loved this song for the catchy tune but just today it hit me how deeply sad the lyrics are. Sometimes you have to grow as a person to really get the emotion of the music you love
Driving through the snow in the suburbs while this song plays is just perfection

Moved.

Love the piano
Best DC song ever
"Sound unfounded" is such a good goddam phrase.
Why so few comments on such a beautiful song?
Seriously!!!

Its sounds like yellow submarine and lucy in the sky of diamonds pretty catchy
Setting playback speed = 90% improves this song, and the entire album IMO.
Ben sounds a lot like Rivers Cuomo in this one
2nd
