Long Division -
by Death Cab for Cutie
| His head was a city of paper buildings | |
| In the echoes that remained | |
| Of old friends and lovers | |
| Their features bleeding | |
| Together in his brain, oh ho ho | |
| And once it started it's harder to tell them apart, oh ho ho | |
| He was always distracted | |
| By the very mention of an open door, oh ho ho | |
| 'Cause 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 was snowing softly | |
| As she hunted for her keys | |
| She said she never envisioned him the type of person | |
| Capable of such deceit | |
| Oh ho ho, oh ho ho | |
| And 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 the remain, remain, remain, remainder | |
| To be the remain, remain, remain, remainder | |
| To be the remain, remain, remain, remainder | |
| To be the remain, remain, remain, remainder | |
| To be the remain, remain, remain, remainder | |
| To be a remain, remain, remain, remainder |
