Set to the song "You Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will." by Bright Eyes.

Well, you say that I treat you like a book on a shelf
I don't take you out that often
'Cause I know that I completed you
And that's why you are here
That's the reason you stay here
How awful that must feel

You said you'd be my dream
I could have you every night
And if by morning I'd forgotten you
Well, no big deal, that'd be all right
'Cause you're the re-occuring kind
You are the re-occuring kind
You never really leave my mind

Are you the love of my lifetime
'Cause there's been times I've had my doubts
We were just kids when I first kissed you
In the attic of my parents' house
And I wish we were there now
I took so long to figure out
What this book has been about

Now I write when I'm away
Letters that you'll never read
You said go explore those other women
The geography of their bodies
But there's just one map you'll need
You're a boomerang you'll see
You will return to me

You will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will. (etc.)

Because if you don't then this book's all lies
If you don't then my plans would all be ruined
If you don't, I'll start drinking like the way I drank before
And I just won't have a future anymore

Who else agrees that Jess and Conor Oberst looked a lot alike for some time?

  • After all this time, this video is still one of my all-time favorites for Jess and Rory. You've captured the two of them so well, and matched all the lyrics perfectly. It really shows how Jess came to realize the mistake he made in allowing her to feel unappreciated, when nothing could be further from the truth. It tied together perfectly their mutual love of books, and how he tried to mend things by writing his own and giving it to her, hoping she would understand.

  • @Sixica Wow thanks for sending this to me! No comments except for yours from 2 years ago? That's a shame, it's truly an amazing song choice for Jess/Rory, seriously... wow. This is a GREAT vid.

  • PERFECT SONG!!! I could swear Jess was singing it at an open mike somewhere in New York City...just wishing Rory would somehow hear him.

    It's funny. I really wanted to hate Jess. I disliked him for so long...and by the end of the series I wanted to see him and Rory together. Watching the series all over again, I want them together from the beginning.

    You captured them so well. Beautiful job!

    Please make more videos! You rock!
