d**h Cab For Cutie - The New Year (acoustic) lyrics

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-a**igned 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 And 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 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 So this is the new year So this is the new year
