Lyrics Death Cab for Cutie

Death Cab for Cutie

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

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 (2x)

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 (4x)

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

To be the remain remain remain remainder (6x)
