lyrics
You've woken up alone for as far back as you can remember
Your shirts are all faded and your shoes are worn
The apartment's a mess, the paint's peeling off of the walls
Your life is in shambles and you just watch it fall apart
But of course, you couldn't care less
Nothing's in your fridge at all, just condiments and alcohol
The phone rings but "no one's home"
And you break down silently to yourself
Wishing that there was someone else
Well, congratulations for letting all your aspirations pass you by
You're content with disappointment, yeah, you feel just fine
Congratulations, we had such high hopes for you, but you fooled us all
It's such a long way to fall, long way to fall
But don't worry, you're almost there
You sat by and watched as your friends matured and left you
Some got married and some had kids, while the others just outgrew you
And instead of wondering why or how you let this happen
You sulked and you moaned and complained
When it was you who was to blame
Oh, it was you who was to blame
So, congratulations for letting all your aspirations pass you by
You're content with disappointment, yeah, you feel just fine
Oh, congratulations, we had such high hopes for you, but you fooled us all
It's such a long way to fall, long way to fall
But don't worry, you're almost there
I said, don't worry, you're almost there
Congratulations for letting all your aspirations pass you by
You're content with disappointment, yeah, you feel just fine
Oh, congratulations, we had such high hopes for you, but you fooled us all
It's such a long way to fall, long way to fall
But don't worry, you're almost there
I said, don't worry, you're almost there

The Philadelphia group sharpen their hooks and internal dyanmics for a fun and non-dorky take on power pop anyone can get behind. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 26, 2024
Montreal psych-pop veterans sound as infectious and hypnotic as ever on their seventh LP, slinging jangly riffs and bright vocal harmonies. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 14, 2024
