Back in school they never taught us what we needed to know
Like how to deal with despair Or someone breaking your heart For twelve years I've held it all together But a night like this is begging to pull me apart I played it quiet left you deep in conversation I felt uncool and hung out around the kitchen I remember I kept thinking that I know you never would And now I know I want to kill you like only a best friend could Everyone's caught on to everything you do (Everyone's caught on to) As if it happening wasn't enough I got to go and write a song just to remind myself how bad it sucked Ignore the sun, covers over my head Wrote a message on my pillow that says, “Jesse, stay asleep in bed.” So don't apologize (I hope you choke and die) Search your cell for something which to hang yourself Say you need to pray if you want to go to heaven Never you what to say when your whole life has gone to hell Everyone's caught on to everything you do (Everyone's caught on to) And everyone's caught on to everything you do Everyone's caught on to (And I can't let you let me down again) (I can't let you let me down again) So, is that what you call a getaway? Tell me what you got away with 'Cause I've seen more spine on a jellyfish And I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids Have another drink and drive yourself home I hope there's ice on all the roads And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt And again when your head goes through the windshield Is that what you call tact? You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back So let's end this call And end this conversation And is that what you call a getaway? Well tell me what you got away with 'Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed When you said best friends means friends forever Is that what you call a getaway? Tell me what you got away with Cause I've seen more spine on a jellyfish I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids Have another drink and drive yourself home I hope there's ice on all the roads And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt Again when your head goes through the windshield Everyone's caught on to everything you do (Everyone's caught on to) I can't let you let me down again. I can't let you let me down again. Everyone's caught on to everything you do (Everyone's caught on to) I can't let you let me down again. I can't let you let me down again. |

I was listening to 'No I in Team' by TBS a few
days after I heard Seventy Times 7 and I wondered
about why they both had the same line so thanks
for the explanation. Oh well I still say Seventy
Times 7 is the better out of the two.

days after I heard Seventy Times 7 and I wondered

Times 7 is the better out of the two." It is because Seventy Times Seven is about Jesse being mad at John and There's No I In Team is about John saying his stuff. They are best friends or were i dont know but they both wrote songs during that mishap. added: 06/30/2004, 12:40 PM |

It's not because they were mad at each other, i
think i remember someone telling me it was because
they were friends back in the day [and still are]
and the same girl screwed them both over or
something.

John (formerly of TBS): Well, it’s a long story.
Basically the story behind that is a situation,
which involved myself and Jesse from Brand New.
While the songs were released at different times,
they were both written around the same time about
the same situation. Both songs are directly
related “Seventy Times 7” is Jesse’s point of view
and “There’s No ‘I’ In Team” is mine. They’re not
necessarily opposing points of view, just from our
personal perspective. The words “Best friends
means friends forever” from “Seventy Times 7” was
originally from our song so then we took the line
from their song. It was a little devious on our
part, I’d admit. We all think Brand New is an
awesome band and we love them, it was a personal
situation between me and Jesse and the songs just
happened to result from it.

Jesse has the patent to these lyrics, TBS singer
stole but its all good. The chorus is probably one
of the best chorus' ever written in music history.
Its hits you so hard that you can surely relate it
to someone you know or an experience you've been
through. BEAUTIFUL AND PRICELESS. best lyrics i
know.

It wasn't fucking stolen, they did it on purpose.
The bands did this on purpose. Did you not even
read the thing Martinnn403 posted. I mean even if
you didn't know the story that would explain it.

jesse and john were best friends. jesses
girlfriend at the time slept with john. thats what
happened. the lyrics are what they both felt at
the time. either way this song is kick ass. and
theres no i in team is an amazing song also.

This song is so unbelivably beautiful... It has
reminded me of so many situations in my life just
like every other BN song that has helped me make
it through my life. Jesse is my supreme god and I
don't even know the guy but just through his
lyrics and music and can tell he has the most
genuine and beautiful souls in existince.

It's really a shame all of you care way too much
about this, and everyother band's personal lives.
This song was written from the heart, enough
stated. It's a good song, one of their best. There
is no need to poke and prode into a situation THAT
IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. I can't tell you how
much I deteste people that consistantly ask about
this situation, good lord if you want to know so
bad be a true fan and go to one of their concerts,
scout them out after the show and ask them about
it. I'm sure you'll get a sincere response in some
way similar to that of my own.

I've never heard this song, and I only looked up
the lyrics 'cause of all the controversy on the
parallel TBS song's page, heh. TBS fan, but I
gotta admit this one's written better than
"There's No 'I' in Team."
added: 10/04/2004, 10:49 PM |

wakingdown |
And if anything "Theres No I In Team" was written
about the problems between John and Adam, of
course i'd say about half of you assholes wouldn't
know that because you're just a bunch of mtv based
fans.

wakingdown: You can't just cast stereotypes over
BN fans. I happen to know it's about the
John/Jesse/Jesse's ex story but I don't got
dissing other BN fans. It's people like you that
plague the music scene and cause so many genres to
be made and so much distance between different
tastes in music

I gotta Agree with wakingdown, alot of TBS's fans
didnt come around till A decade under the
influence started playing on MTV. I dont really
know which song was written about whoever having
problems with each other. But i do know what jesse
has performed theres no I in Team along with TBS
in concert.

alright guys. lets just chill out. this is a
killer song written about a time that was
obviously pretty harsh for all parties. but if
songs like this result from cheating on
significant others, i dont see a problem with
cheating anymore... infact... i think more people
should cheat on boyfreinds/girlfreinds just so
there will be more songs like thisss

haha, ppl lets not get technical...this song is
the equivalent to TBS's "There's no I in team"
(lyrically speaking)...i think the two are
interlinked, seeing that jesse is the original
bassist from TBS..but thank god he moved to Brand
New, cuz if he didnt, there'd be no sean cooper,
and then....no straylight run...that'd be
terrible, god why do i have this much time on my
hands? great song none the less, i like it alot,
hands down Your Favorite Weapon beats Deja Entendu
