Kaleidoscope Lyrics

Never could get out of my own way

Why do we keep on making choices for the worst?

I can still see them waving, smiles on their faces

I throw the Bronco in reverse

I'm still waiting on my big break

Chasing dreams on the outskirts of Calgary

And the only reminder of my former life

Is this photo of Ricky and me

I keep this photo of Ricky and me

When you're looking up at the stars, you're

Looking back in time

I knew my oldest never liked me

But me and Ricky we were pretty close

But the glass was half broken, and all I could hope

Was to turn it into some kaleidoscope

So I keep sweeping up the pieces

I keep on trying to get clean

I heard he's been living in a trailer out East

Maybe somewhere outside Albany

I wonder if I called, would he...

When you're looking up at the stars, you're

Looking back in time

Back before they burned out, they burned out

But you can still see them shine

And I wonder if he's still looking at the stars

Like we did back when we still had hope

Before I backed out and slid between the bars

Turned into this old kaleidoscope

It's like if I could just fix it with another rotation

There's so much inside that's broken in me

These fragments of my past, this trail of broken glasses

Debris from the lives that collided with me

When you're looking up at the stars, you're

Looking back in time

Back before they burned out, they burned out

But you can still see them shine
