Dun dun duuuun. Okay, this one is Jake. DICLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters. I do not own Thanks for the Memories, FOB does. Be happy (goes and sulks because I don't own anthing : ( )
This was happening. The war was ending. It was going to be over. I had changed for the most definite worse, but it was over. Or was soon.
I'm gonna make you bend and break,
(It sends you to me without wait)
Say a prayer but let the good times roll!
In case God doesn't show...
(Let the good times roll, let the good times roll)
Seeing, in one moment, life and death. Loss and redemption. Crying and laughing. The good times and the bad times.
And I want these words to make things right,
But it's the wrongs that make the words come to life,
"Who does he think he is?"
If that's the worst you got,
Better put your fingers back to the keys!
Meeting Elfangor that one night. I wished we hadn't, that someone else could fight this for us. But no one could. It was us, had to be us, and was only us.
But right now… it wasn't even an 'us.' It was an 'I,' a 'you,' single. Right now, I was alone.
One night and one more time,
Thanks for the memories,
Even though they weren't so great;
"He tastes like you only sweeter"!
One night, yeah, and one more time,
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories;
"See, he tastes like you only sweeter"!
These memories… This war changed us so much… The good memories, me and Cassie, on the Iskoort home world…
Meeting Ax, so far below the sea…
Destroying the Kadrona, so long ago…
Been looking forward to the future,
When my eyesight is going bad,
And this crystal ball.
It's always cloudy except for, (Except for)
When you look into the past (look into the past),
One night stand... (one night stand off),
I could see what was going to happen. Rachel will die and we will win. We will win, but the Animorphs shall lose.
And I was to blame.
One night and one more time,
Thanks for the memories,
Even though they weren't so great;
"He tastes like you only sweeter"!
One night, yeah, and one more time,
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories;
"See, he tastes like you only sweeter"!
One last fight. The battles were tallied- we had won. Or had we? The memories were there, but lost. All I could see was her.
They say I only think in the form of crunching numbers
In hotel rooms collecting page six lovers
Get me out of my mind and get you out of those clothes
I'm a liner away from getting you into the mood, whoa
I saw David in that hotel room he broke into as an eagle. I remembered David. What we had had to do.
But did we?
One night and one more time,
Thanks for the memories,
Even though they weren't so great;
"He tastes like you but sweeter"!
One night, yeah, and one more time,
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories;
"He, he tastes like you only sweeter"!
And, as I saw this, saw what I had done, saw what I had become, I fell.
I fell to the ground and cried. For what we had lost. Marco- he had gained so much, a mother, a father… but looking at him, I saw the hurt on his face. He was wretched from this- what I had caused.
Cassie- she had lost her caring. She didn't care anymore. Not as much as she used to. And Rachel- she had lost her best friend.
Me- I had lost it all. I wasn't that kid you saw on the street, practicing basket-ball. I planned for battles. I killed Yeerks.
Tobias- he had lost being human. He gave up his body for this cause.
Rachel- She had lost her life. The thing humans hold closest. She had lost it all.
One night and one more time,
Thanks for the memories,
Even though they weren't so great;
"He tastes like you but sweeter"!
One night, yeah, and one more time,
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories;
"He, he tastes like you only sweeter"!
Thanks, war, for these memories.
Thanks a WHOLE lot.
