Long Division
Death Cab For Cutie
Narrow Stairs (2008)

His head was a city of paper buildings and the echoes that remain
Of old friends and lovers, the features bleeding together in his brain
And once it started, it was harder to tell them apart
He was always distracted by the very mention of an open door
Because he had sworn not to be body bent that far (????)

To be a remain, remain, remain, remainder
To be a remain, remain, remain, remainder

On television, it was snowing softly as she hunted for her keys
She said she never envisioned him the type of person capable of such deceit
And then they carried on like long division, 'cause it was clear with every page
That they were farther away from a 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 body bent that far
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
