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 



And once it started was harder to 

Tell them apart



He was always distracted 

By the very mention 

Of an open door 

'Cause he had sworn not to be what he'd been before 



To be a remain remain remain remainder [x2]



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 



And they carried on like long division 

And it was clear with every page 

That they were further away from a solution that would play 



Without a remain remain remain remainder [x4]



He had sworn not to be what he'd been before 



To be the remain remain remain remainder [x6]
