The New Year

December 31st, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

So this is the new year and I don’t feel any different
The clanking of crystal, explosions off in the distance

So this is the new year and I have no resolutions
For self-assigned penance, for problems with easy solutions

So everybody put your best suit or dress on
Let’s make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
As thirty dialogues bleed into one

I wish the world was flat like the old days
Then I could travel just by folding a map
No more airplanes, or speedtrains, or freeways
There’d be no distance that can hold us back

There’d be no distance that could hold us back
There’d be no distance that could hold us back

So this is the new year…
- Death Cab for Cutie
