Lyrics for Long Division
His head was a city Of paper buildings And the echoes that remain Of old friends and lovers Their features bleeding Together in his brain, oh And once it started it was harder to tell them apart, oh He was always distracted By the very mention of an open door, oh Because he had sworn Not to be what he'd been before To be a remain, remain, remain, remainder To be a remain, remain, remain, remainder The television It was snowing softly As she hunted for her keys She said she never envisioned Him the type of person Capable of such deceit, oh, oh And then they carried on like Long division 'Cause it was clear with every page Oh, that they were further away From a solution that would play Without a remain, remain, remain, remainder Without a remain, remain, remain, remainder Without a remain, remain, remain, remainder Without a remain, remain, remain, remainder He had sworn Not to be what he'd been before To be a remain, remain, remain, remainder To be a remain, remain, remain, remainder To be a remain, remain, remain, remainder To be a remain, remain, remain, remainder To be a remain, remain, remain, remainder To be a remain, remain, remain, remainder
