Death Cab for Cutie - The New Year

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 speed trains, or freeways
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.
