There's No I In Team, a degrassi fanfic

"There's No I In Team" –Taking Back Sunday,.!

You may notice that some of the lyrics are from "Seventy Times 7." There was a little feud between the two bands, and a real-life best-friend relationship issue between Jesse Lacey of Brand New, and John Nolan of TBS.

Well I can't regret,
Can't you just forget it?

It's in the past, just like everything.

I started something I couldn't finish

I didn't have a complete handle on the situation.

And if we go down,
We go down together

We're still in this together.

Best friends means,
Well best friends means

I remember that pact we made in the 5th grade. I don't know if you do, but the words we said still ring clearly in my mind. Especially on your part. You seemed to mean what you said.

And I've got a twenty-dollar bill
That says you're up late night starting
Fist fights versus fences in your backyard

People do childish things sometimes. I thought that maybe you would understand that. …But instead you're beating yourself up about this; you're doing anything to avoid me.

Wearing your black eye like a badge of honor
Soaking in sympathy

But trying to make me seem like the bad guy doesn't help. Trying to make people feel sorry for you…

From friends who never loved you
Nearly half as much as me

…It just makes me feel even worse.

Broken down in bars and bathrooms
All I did was what I had to

She liked me. I never would have done…anything if she hadn't made the first move.

Don't believe me when I tell you
It's just what anyone would do

I couldn't convince myself to say no. Teenage boys give into a lot of temptation.

Take the time to talk about it
Think a lot and live without it

You're smart. I thought you would think this through. But I guess you just have to get over certain things...

Don't believe me when I tell you
It's something unforgivable...ohoh

I can admit that this type of thing doesn't easily leave someone's radar.

Well I can't regret,
Can't you just forget it?

If you can't forgive, can you at least attempt to forget?

I started something I couldn't finish

I was stuck in the mess.

If we go down,
We go down together

And, to me, you're still the same Eli.

Best friends means,
Well best friends means

The same one who, as a shy 10-year-old boy, swore to me that we'd always be best friends.

You never knew
Well I never told you...

But it's not entirely my fault...

Everything I know about breaking hearts
I learned from you, it's true

You told me about that rough patch in your relationship with Julia.

I've never done it with the style and grace you have

You're a hypocrite if you think I should get different punishment for the same action.

But I've made long term plans
Based on these mistakes

But I won't be the one sitting around, waiting for things to get better. My decisions affect my choices in the future. …And right now, maybe I'd be better off without someone like you.

Broken down in bars and bathrooms
All I did was what I had to

It's not like I intentionally tried to hurt you.

Don't believe me when I tell you
It's just what anyone would do

It's not like you even loved her…

Take the time to talk about it
Think a lot and live without it

Just give it another thought. Even a quick one.

Don't believe me when I tell you
It's something unforgivable

I just can't imagine not having you there.

Is this what you call tact?
I swear you're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back

That time that you caught us… You couldn't make it any more clear how angry you were. ...But if we were that out in the open, then why are you displaying your emotions for all to see?

So let's end this call,
And end this conversation
There's nothing worse…

But these things are hard… I guess giving up could be the best option. It would be the only way to end anything completely.

(That's right he said, that's right he said it)
( Have another drink and drive yourself home)
I swear, you have no idea

I feel bad too. I deserve to be ignored by you.

( I hope there's ice on all the roads)
The jealousy that became me thinking

And maybe I just wanted your attention.

( And you can think of me when you forget your seat belt)
(That's right he said)
( And again when your head goes through the windshield)
That you always had it way too easy

I always had to try harder… Maybe that was why I did something…bold…just so you would notice.

Broken down in bars and bathrooms
All I did was what I had to

I guess it was a stupid thing to do.

Don't believe me when I tell you
It's just what anyone would do

But if that makes me stupid, so be it.

Take the time to talk about it
Think a lot and live without it

You've done a lot of stupid things too.

Don't believe me when I tell you
It's something unforgivable

And some of things were just…a lot for me to handle.
