In the Words of a Gerbil...

With the new year upon us I think we should look back on the past.
Of course the only way to do a TF2 flashback is with the most emotional of meme songs...
Photograph by Nickelback (link for reference original lyrics in the spoiler)
[Verse 1]
Look at this photograph
Every time I do, it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red?
And what the hell is on Joey's head?
And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out
And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must've done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it's too late
Should I go back and try to graduate?
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them, I wouldn't let me in

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, God, I, I

[Chorus]
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
(Goodbye)

[Verse 2]
Remember the old arcade?
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin' out
They say somebody went and burned it down
We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel
Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since God knows when

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, God, I, I

[Chorus]
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
[Bridge]
I miss that town
I miss their faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it
If I could relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change

[Chorus]
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

[Outro]
Look at this photograph
Every time I do, it makes me laugh
Every time I do, it makes me

[Verse 1]
Look at this screen cap
It's a murderous Pokemon Snap
How did our Spy get on red?
And what's that hat on Heavy's head?
And this is where I grew up
I think before the plot line was made up
I never knew we ever went without
We were having fun kill streaking Scout
And this is when TF2 was cool
Most of the time had tournaments to do
Divisional record says I broke top score twice
I must've done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it's too late
Should I go back and try to make top eight?
Comp is harder now than it was back then
If I was in, I couldn't get a win

[Chorus]
Every memory of shouting out "cry some more"
I had a photo labeling my organs spread out across the floor
Press T to spray it, time to play it
Game ni-ight, Game ni-ight
Every memory of talking about the game lore
I found the photo of the cosplay that I was looking for
Press T to spray it, time to play it
Game ni-ight, Game ni-ight
(Game ni-ight)

[Verse 2]
Remember the old grenade?
Blew up everyone taunting with a spade
The tots hated us playin' Scout
Then this homebody went Pyro and burned a kraut
We used to listen to the video
And laugh along with every merc it'd show
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sting a Medic when he's trying to heal
Grinned at my first assist
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
I've posted a couple of vids since then
I haven't gleaned subs since who knows when

[Chorus]
Every memory of shouting out "cry some more"
I had a photo labeling my organs spread out across the floor
Press T to spray it, time to play it
Game ni-ight, Game ni-ight
Every memory of talking about the game lore
I found the photo of the cosplay that I was looking for
Press T to spray it, time to play it
Game ni-ight, Game ni-ight

[Bridge]
I missed that down
I missed their faces
You can't erase
You can't backspace it
I missing now
I can't believe it
So hard to melee
Too hard to cleave it
If I could relive those grazes
I know the one thing that would never change

[Chorus]
Every memory of shouting out "cry some more"
I had a photo labeling my organs spread out across the floor
Press T to spray it, time to play it
Game ni-ight, Game ni-ight
Every memory of talking about the game lore
I found the photo of the cosplay that I was looking for
Press T to spray it, time to play it
Game ni-ight, Game ni-ight

[Outro]
Look at this screen cap
It's a murderous Pokemon Snap
Every time I do, it makes me... WANT TO PLAY TF2!
