The New Year (demo) Songtext
von Death Cab for Cutie

So this is the new year
But 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
It's self-assigned penance
For problems with easy solutions


So everybody, put your best suit or dress on
We′ll make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
As 30 dialogues bleed into one

I wish the world was flat as the old days
And I could travel just by folding the map
No more airplanes or congested freeways
There'd be no distance that could 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
So this is the new year
