In The New Year Lyrics
At the old address
And I’m waiting on the weather
That I know will pass
It’s gonna be a good year
Out of the darkness
And into the fire
I tell you I love you
And my heart’s in the strangest place
That’s how it started
And that’s how it ends
It’s a point of pride
And it’s louder than lightning
In this room of mine
I never hear the bad news
And I never will
We won by a landslide
Our troubles are over
My sisters are married to all of my friends
Yeah, that’s how it started
And I waited by without complaint
Til all the pipe dreams made me insane
It’s all over anyhow
You took your sweet time
Finally, I opened my eyes
They are asking of me
How long will you ramble
How long will you stay with me
The snow is still falling
I’m almost home
I’ll see you in the new year
sounds like an on & off couple that can't ever get enough of each other. they might not be married, but they will be together forever.
epic song.
I personally think it's about a man who's in a love with a woman who's a gypsy/vagabond. He waits by because he loves her and he knows she loves him too but she's the type of person who doesn't stay in one place. Home is only truly home when she's there.
second chorus "I never hear the bad news"
second to last line "and my arm's cold" (?)
i think the second to last line might actually be "i'm almost home"?
clearly one of the best songs of the year love it, their best, next to the Rat
their best song since bows+arrows album
Sounds pretty epic...
[...a classic is afoot!]
such an amazing song, can't stop listening to it
I've been listening to this song for a while and I suddenly got the interpretation that this song is about a couple that is going to be married but there's so much that has to happen first like telling his family. But he can't wait till they're finally wed. and of course it's gonna be a good year =]
The bridge, "You took your sweet time, and I waited by, I complained 'till all the pipe dreams made me obscene"
