This is based off a famous children’s book, The Cat that Lived a Million Times by Yoko Sano. You will cry, like seriously don’t read this if you have to go anywhere not looking like a hot mess ok. I cried a lot and already knew what would happen, and yes the kids book is this sad as well.
Pretty much every fandom has a Hey There Delilah rewrite so I thought it was about time that Attack on Titan had one! I told my pal Dave about my idea, and they immedietely sent me these lyrics!! I revised them a little to fit the rhythm better, but pretty much all lyrical credit goes to them. Also, this song is a little low for my range but I really wanted to do it so I’m sorry if it’s not perfect!
LYRICS:
[VERSE 1]
Hey there Jean Kirschtein
What’s it like out killing titans, y’know
I’m sorry I’m not there to help
But I know you’re good at fighting,
Yeah you are
And I promise you, you will go far
It’s just who you are.
[VERSE 2]
Hey there Jean Kirschtein
Don’t you worry about me missing
'Cause I'm always there beside you
When it’s my image that you’re missin’
I miss you too
You don’t know what I would give or do
To be back by you
[CHORUS]
Jean, please don’t stop fighting
Jean, please don’t stop fighting.
Jean, please don’t stop fighting.
Oh Jean, please don’t stop fighting.
Please don’t stop fighting.
[VERSE 3]
Hey there Jean Kirschtein,
I know it gets hard at night,
You’re getting scared that you might join me
But don’t you worry, you’re alright
You’ll be okay
And I wouldn’t have it any other way
Long as you’re safe.
[VERSE 4]
Hey there Jean Kirschtein,
There’s a lot still left to say,
And I’m aware that you can’t hear me,
But hopefully there’ll be a day
You can hear it all
And even deeper we will fall,
Just like these walls.
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
A thousand years now it will seem,
Before you can get back to me
But I’ll wait for you since there’s no other way
And Petra keeps me company
She doesn’t like when I’m lonely
But we both know that it’s just not the same.
Jean this is what I promise you
That by the time you’re up here too
My love for you will not have ever changed
We won’t be estranged.
[VERSE 5]
Hey up there Marco
I’ll be there before you know it
Because this titans gonna kill me
And there is no one here to slow it
I’ll be there soon
And we’ll do whatever we want to
Hey up there Marco here’s to you
I’ll be there soon.
