The Remainder Lyrics by Death Cab For Cutie

The Remainder

His head was a city
With paper buildings
And the echos that remain
Of old friends and lovers
With features bleeding
Together in his brain
Oh, oh, oh

Once it starts it was harder to
Tell them apart
Oh, oh, oh

And he was always distracted
By the very mention
Of an open door
Oh, oh, oh

'Cause he had sworn not 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 keys
She said she never envisioned
Him the type of person
Capable of such deceit
Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

And then they carried on like
Long division
'Cause it was clear with every page
Oh, that they were

Further 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 had sworn not to be
What he'd been before

To be
The remain, remain, remain
Remainder

Etc.....
