LETRALong DivisionDeath Cab For Cutie

His head was a city of paper buildings
And the echoes that remained
Were of old friends and lovers
Their features bleeding together in his brain
Once you start, it's harder to tell them apart

He was always distracted
By the very mention of an open door
Because he has 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 key
She said she never envisioned him
A type of person capable of such deceit

And they carried on like long division
Because it was clear with every page
Oh, that they were farther 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 has 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
