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

Once it starts, it's harder to tell them apart

He was always distracted

by the very mention of an open door

'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 a type of person capable of such deceit

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

Out the remain, remain, remain remainder

Out the remain, remain, remain remainder

Out the remain, remain, remain remainder

Out the 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
