DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE LYRICS - Long Division

"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 [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]
