I Ran Out Into the Snowflakes, Laughing Lyrics

I saw a couple at the station

They were trying to say goodbye

They reminded me of my family

In the mornings at Christmas time

But no matter how hard they pressed themselves together

They still remained separate and untethered

She was asking is this the closest we can get

Do you know what I mean

Have you ever known what I meant

He said baby you know white light it's always hidden

And everyone's just like a prism

Even if it's never said out loud

You know it's true

And I was sitting across from a man on the train

As I listened to a song I felt alone

Someone was singing to me about the futility

Of a synonym inside a snowglobe

And he looked up at me over his glasses

I'd never been so sure of kindness

He said do you wanna know what I found out

Even though it's always a translation

We're reading from the exact same page

And it's a crazy thought but you know it's true

Mmmmm

So I make my way down my street

I swear it was a path I used to dread

And now all the people I used to try and pass by unseen

Now they kiss me on my forehead

And the cornershop's front sign is dying

So for one last night it is wise and winking

With a glorious casino smile

I walked on through its yawning doors

And threw my thesaurus on the floor

Saying wherever we are going I'm coming along

And I ran out into the snowflakes laughing

Both to myself and everyone
