bye bye 2008

每年的最後一天我都會想起這首歌
不過 今年的心境似乎特別符合
希望明年的這天 我對新年的態度變化不大
卻有可以分享這心境或同樂的對象

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
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

So this is the new year
