Long Division
His head was a city of paper buildings
And the echoes that remained
Of old friends and lovers, their features bleeding
Together in his brain, oh-oh-oh
And once it started, it was harder to
Tell them apart, oh-oh-oh
And he was always distracted by the very mention
Of an open door, oh-oh-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 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-oh
Oh-oh-oh
And then they carried on like long division
As 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
And 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 the remain, remain, remain, remainder
And the echoes that remained
Of old friends and lovers, their features bleeding
Together in his brain, oh-oh-oh
And once it started, it was harder to
Tell them apart, oh-oh-oh
And he was always distracted by the very mention
Of an open door, oh-oh-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 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-oh
Oh-oh-oh
And then they carried on like long division
As 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
And 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 the remain, remain, remain, remainder
