Long Division
His head was a city of paper buildings
And the echoes that remained
Were of old friends and lovers
Their features bleeding together in his brain
Once you start, it's harder to tell them apart
He was always distracted
By the very mention of an open door
Because 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
Because it was clear with every page
Oh, 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 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
División Larga
Su cabeza era una ciudad de edificios de papel
Y los ecos que quedaban
Eran de viejos amigos y amantes
Sus rasgos sangrando juntos en su cerebro
Una vez que empiezas, es más difícil distinguirlos
Siempre estaba distraído
Por la mera mención de una puerta abierta
Porque había jurado no ser lo que había sido antes
Ser un resto, resto, resto, remanente
Ser un resto, resto, resto, remanente
La televisión estaba nevando suavemente
Mientras ella buscaba su llave
Ella dijo que nunca lo imaginó
Como un tipo de persona capaz de tal engaño
Y continuaron como una división larga
Porque estaba claro con cada página
Oh, que estaban más lejos
De una solución que funcionara
Sin un resto, resto, resto, remanente
Sin un resto, resto, resto, remanente
Sin un resto, resto, resto, remanente
Sin un resto, resto, resto, remanente
Él había jurado no ser lo que había sido antes
Ser un resto, resto, resto, remanente
Ser un resto, resto, resto, remanente
Ser un resto, resto, resto, remanente
Ser un resto, resto, resto, remanente
