Lyrics
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, once it starts, it was harder to tell them apart
He was always distracted
By the very mention of an open door
Oh, 'cause 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 the type of person capable of such deceit
Oh, oh,
And they carried on like long division
'Cause it was clear with every page
Oh, that they were farther away
From the 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.
