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



He was always distracted

By the very mention

Of an open door, oh-oh-oh

'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-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



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
