If Only You Were Lonely, the second album from Dayton, Ohio emo crew Hawthorne Heights, came out on Victory Records in 2006 with David Bendeth producing, and it borrows its title from a Replacements B-side. JT Woodruff sings lead, Matt Ridenour plays bass, Eron Bucciarelli drums, and Micah Carli and Casey Calvert split the guitars, with Calvert also supplying the screamed backing vocals that rough up the sweeter hooks.
Even the track names have a sense of humor: "Where Can I Stab Myself in the Ears?" came from a forum post on AbsolutePunk announcing one of the band's releases. The record hit number one on Billboard's Independent Albums chart and number 3 on the Billboard 200, went gold, and "Saying Sorry" went gold too. It turned out to be Calvert's last album with the band; he died on November 24, 2007.
