Death Cab For Cutie - The Remainder lyrics

rate me

His head was a city

of paper buildings

and the echoes that remained

Old friends and lovers

had features bleeding

together in his brain oh ho ho

Once it starts

its harder to tell them apart

He was always distracted

by the very mention

of an open door oh ho ho

cuz he had sworn

not to be what he had 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 had never envisioned

him the type of person

who could pull off such deceit oh ho ho

oh ho ho

And they carried on like long division

as it was clear with every page oh that they were

from the way

from solutions 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

to be the remain remain remain remainder

to be the remain remain remain remainder

to be the remain remain remain remainder

to be the remain remain remain remainder

to be the remain remain remain remainder
