I learned from losing you Against all of the odds That it's never enough When someone says You’ll always be enough I got trapped by my impatience To prove that I was capable Of keeping my commitments Or being just like everybody else Impatience Rarely leads to permanence I’m always too trusting Or not trusting enough I’d balance it out to hear you say That you learned from giving up

If Only 03:02
Only I have myself in mind Only I can protect what’s mine (Can’t you accept there’s Something better out there for you Don’t let it slip away) Only I can shut myself inside (Can’t you accept there’s Something better out there for you Don’t let it slip away) Only I won’t share the place I hide Can’t you accept there’s Something better out there for you Don’t let it slip away If only I lived a different life If only I had a little more time Can’t you accept there’s Something better out there for you Don’t let it slip away If you convinced me that You’d keep them safe I would tell you all my secrets If I believed my life Would ever change I would give you full advantage Uncomfortable in pale and aging skin (Only I) But you say you’re not disgusted (Only I) I wanna trust but I’ve been burned before (Only I) I’ve given up but can you fix me (Only I) If you convinced me that You’d keep them safe (Only I) I would tell you all my secrets (Only I) If I believed my life Would ever change (Only I) I would give you full advantage (Only I)

The layout of my house Is always changing I’ve slept in every bedroom Since you were here I’ve finally figured out Where your old couch fits The Goodwill down the road In time the colors that we chose To paint the rooms will fade The garden that we’ve grown Will choke and wilt away This house was never home to you But it feels like home without you But it takes it’s toll Telling myself that I’m happy alone If I’m truthful I’m happy alone If it means without you Will I always feel like I’ll never be whole Do I need somebody To reprise the role I’ll refrain from trying hard To replace you I’ll accept you’ll probably Disappoint me too I give up (This house was never home to you) I’ll never split this house in two It’s just me, my dogs (But it feels like home without you) My band will have to do This house was never home to you But it feels like home without you

5 6 7 8 After a year inside Of dreaming of my Future perfect life I had to let it go Because I’m afraid That everyone will know That I fail every time I try To restart my life In a global pandemic While I’m hiding inside When a new friend calls Or an old friend dies When the seasons change Or opportunity strikes I’m inspired to change But I never get it right Never get it right But I can’t face myself When was the last time I smiled Only God can erase my sins But tell that to my inner child I don’t belong in this body But I feel trapped in a cycle That forces me to watch As I deteriorate slowly Forget that anyone knows me Maybe with one more chance I’ll change I fail every time I try To restart my life In a global pandemic While I’m hiding inside When a new friend calls Or an old friend dies When the seasons change Or opportunity strikes I’m inspired to change But I never get it right Never get it right Never get it right If I could forget you Maybe I’d finally feel The change But I can’t forgive you So I guess I’ll always Feel the same

about

RAD-089:

Celebration Guns is preoccupied with time. It’s clear in the titles of their last two releases–2020’s On Aging Gracelessly and 2021’s The Visiting Years–and in their song titles: “Something About Hindsight in 2020,” “Old Man Yells at Cloud,” “Better Days,” “The Me That Used to Be.” The idea of a focus on time, the passing and wasting of it, isn’t anything new for an emo band. But the members of Celebration Guns aren’t teenagers pining for the good times with their ex, they’re all in their 30s, and they’ve been doing this for over a decade.

So when the words, “Can I repent for wasted years?” are choked out over a sparkling math riff, you know they mean it. There are any number of bands out there who want to be the next Algernon, the next Snowing, the next Hightide Hotel–and a lot of them rock. Celebration Guns isn’t doing that. They’re just trying to make the music they want to make. There are elements they share with bands like those, though, the bright and jaunty leads, the sticky pop-rock hooks, the wild time signatures. When it comes from Celebration Guns, it just sounds more real, somehow. Call it aging gracefully.
