The New Year *

Happy new year!

The New Year
By Death Cab For Cutie

So this is the new year
And I don't feel any different
The clanking of crystal
Explosions off in the distance
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
Lets make believe we're 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
When I could travel just by folding a map
No more airplanes or speedtrains or freeways
There'd be no distance that could hold us back.

So this is the new year.
