Lyrics for There's No 'I' In Team as interpreted by BrandNew1208

There's No 'I' In Team Lyrics
Well I can't regret,
can't you just forget it?
I started something I couldn't finish
And if we go down, we go down together
Best friends means,
well best friends means

And I've got a twenty-dollar bill
that says you're up late night starting
fist fights vs. fences in your backyard
Wearing your black eye like a badge of honor
Soakin' in sympathy
from friends who never loved you
nearly half as much as me

Broken down in bars and bathrooms
All I did was what I had to
Don't believe me when I tell you,
"it's just what anyone would do"
Take the time to talk about it
Think a lot and live without it
Don't believe me when I tell you,
"it's something unforgivable"

Well I can't regret,
can't you just forget it?
I started something I couldn't finish
If we go down, we go down together
Best friends means,
well best friends means

You never knew,
well I never told you...
everything I know about breaking hearts
I learned from you, it's true
I've never done it with the style and grace you have
But I've made long term plans
based on these mistakes

Broken down in bars and bathrooms
All I did was what I had to
Don't believe me when I tell you,
"it's just what anyone would do"
Take the time to talk about it
Think a lot and live without it
Don't believe me when I tell you,
"it's something unforgivable"

Is this what you call tact?
I swear you're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back
So let's end this call,
and end this conversation
There's nothing worse...
(that's right he said, that's right he said it)
I swear, you have no idea
The jealousy that became got me thinking
(that's right he said)
that you always had it way too easy

Broken down in bars and bathrooms
All I did was what I had to
Don't believe me when I tell you,
"it's just what anyone would do"
Take the time to talk about it
Think a lot and live without it
Don't believe me when I tell you,
"it's something unforgivable"

Best friends means I pulled the trigger
Best friends means you get what you deserve
Best friends means I pulled the trigger
Best friends means you get what you deserve
Best friends means I pulled the trigger
Best friends means you get what you deserve
Best friends means I pulled the trigger
Best friends means you get what you deserve
Best friends means I pulled the trigger
Best friends means you get what you deserve

Best friend thinks I pulled the trigger!
Best friend thinks you get what you deserve!

This song is about a friend who is a drunk. And your scared that they are making all the wrong decisions. He is really scared for his friend and he is just telling him that.

i love this song and Seventy Times 7. it's so amazing that the guys went through all this. the reason that BN's song is called Seventy Times & (bible reference to forgiveness) is because Jesse blames the girl. he says she was slut and shouldn't have kissed (ect) his best friend. at least, i think that's what someone said...anyway, this song rocks...so does TBS and BN!

hey everyone... ive got a question here. is anyone aware that the line from this song "is that what you call tact, your as subtle as a brick..." is also the same line from the brand new song "seventy times seven". does anyone knows the deal on this like maybe the bands have close ties or former members? im curious to know if anyone has realized this similarity and what they know or think about it... tbs is the shit

I never knew this song exsited, then I looked at what I had downloaded and there it was. This is so perfectly written. You can totally hear the pure emtion is his voice. I wish I would have watched this part of the concert instead of going outside where it was cool. I missed out. I saw brand new and rufio though. I still should have stayed inside. I can't believe this song. It makes you feel like you are him going through exactly what he is, and you hurt like him. You are full of the same feeling he is and you just want to break down. I am gonna listen to this over and over and over tonight. I will try not to kill myself....not that I was going to anyway it just makes me hurt so bad....

well, that's an awesome song...
and the story behind those two songs (this one and the one from brand new) is weird. i wonder if john was only one night together with her or whether he is still together with that girl.

The lyrics are so deep. You can interpret them differently, but it all goes back to friends. I have so many friends that I think of when I hear this b/c they have fallen away from me.

You have not seen the nastiest punk set unless you were at the Knitting Factory last night! TBS and Brand New completely brought down the house when they sang "There's No 'I' In Team" together. By far the craziest show I have ever seen.

i saw these guys on the 18th in worcester. It was the best show i've ever been too. This was the best song out of the whole concert they fucking punked out with it. Great song to end a set with. Plus its my favorite TBS song.
