The New Year Lyrics - Transatlanticism - 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 resolution 

It's 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 

So I could travel just by folding the map 

No more airplanes or speed-trains or freeways 

There'd be no distance that could hold us back
