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)
