In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
It's gonna be a full moon
There's gonna be a party
Everyone's goin' out and gettin' down
This ain't no ordinary
At the strike of the midnight hour
We're gonna get crazy
We'll be staying up all night
It's gonna be so easy
There's gonna be another celebration tonight
No one can stop us now
Is everybody ready tonight
There's gonna be another celebration tonight
There's nothing that we can do
Just like a dream come true
Well if it takes all night
I'll find me a lover
Start a rock 'n roll love affair
Just like any other
Oh we'll be making love
Under the moonlight
Oh you hold me, tease me
And tell them that you're mine
Mine all night
There's gonna be another celebration
No one can stop us now
'Cause everybody's ready tonight
There's gonna be another celebration tonight
There's nothing that we can do
Just like a dream come true
It's gonna be a party
Everybody's gonna be there
We'll be dancin' by a full moon
'Cause we don't need no reason
At the strike of the midnight hour
We're gonna get crazy
We'll be staying up all night
It's gonna be so easy
There's gonna be another celebration tonight
No one can stop us now
Is everybody ready tonight
There's gonna be another celebration tonight
There's nothing that we can do
Just like a dream come true
There's gonna be another celebration tonight
No one can stop us now
There's gonna be another celebration tonight
There's gonna be another celebration tonight
No one can stop us now
There's gonna be another celebration tonight
No one can stop us now
There's gonna be a party
Everyone's goin' out and gettin' down
This ain't no ordinary
At the strike of the midnight hour
We're gonna get crazy
We'll be staying up all night
It's gonna be so easy
There's gonna be another celebration tonight
No one can stop us now
Is everybody ready tonight
There's gonna be another celebration tonight
There's nothing that we can do
Just like a dream come true
Well if it takes all night
I'll find me a lover
Start a rock 'n roll love affair
Just like any other
Oh we'll be making love
Under the moonlight
Oh you hold me, tease me
And tell them that you're mine
Mine all night
There's gonna be another celebration
No one can stop us now
'Cause everybody's ready tonight
There's gonna be another celebration tonight
There's nothing that we can do
Just like a dream come true
It's gonna be a party
Everybody's gonna be there
We'll be dancin' by a full moon
'Cause we don't need no reason
At the strike of the midnight hour
We're gonna get crazy
We'll be staying up all night
It's gonna be so easy
There's gonna be another celebration tonight
No one can stop us now
Is everybody ready tonight
There's gonna be another celebration tonight
There's nothing that we can do
Just like a dream come true
There's gonna be another celebration tonight
No one can stop us now
There's gonna be another celebration tonight
There's gonna be another celebration tonight
No one can stop us now
There's gonna be another celebration tonight
No one can stop us now

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
