Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread
Just one more moment
That’s all that’s needed
Like wounded soldiers
In need of healing
Time to be honest
This time I’m bleeding
please don’t dwell on it
Cuz I didn't mean it
I can’t believe I said I’d lay our love on the ground
but it doesn’t matter cuz I’ve made it up
Forgive me now
Everyday I spend away
My soul’s inside out
Gotta be someway that I can
Make it up to you now, somehow.
By now you know that
I'd come for you
No one but you
Yes I’d come for you
But only if you told me to
And I’d fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'll always come for you
I was blindfolded
But now I’m seeing
My mind was closing
Now I’m believing
I finally know just what it means to let someone in
To see the side of me that no one does or ever will
So if you’re ever lost and find yourself all alone
I'd search forever just to bring you home,
Here and now this I vow
By now you know that
I'd come for you
No one but you
Yes I’d come for you
But only if you told me to
And I’d fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I’ll always come for you
You know I’ll always come for you
No matter what gets in my way
As long as there's still life in me
No matter what, remember
You know I’ll always come for you
Yes I’d come for you
No one but you,
Yes I’d come for you
But only if you told me to
And I’d fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I’ll always come for you
No matter what gets in my way
As long as there's still life in me
No matter what, remember
You know I’ll always come for you
I'd crawl across this world for you
Do anything you want me to
No matter what, remember
You know I’ll always come for you
You know I’ll always come for you

Oh my gosh, that nearly made me cry! I had my hand clapped over my mouth the entire time. And I only read the words! That is such a perfect song for John. That's the real him, not the one that we saw in S4 and 5. Because we all know that he would never quit until he found her! Never! *raises a hand and points defiantly at the ceiling*
Thanks for sharing those lyrics. I now love this song, even though I've never heard it.

I'm glad you liked them. Since the first time I heard this song, Sparky has been on my brain.
I know there are complaints about him not going after her, but for me, the line in the song, "but only if you told me to" really says it all. He wants to go. He is dying to go! She hasn't given him permission. If it was the pre Adrift Elizabeth, he wouldn't have hesitated. He would have gone against orders to find her. Since she is who she is now, against his orders, he follows her lead even though it hurts.
Well all that is just my thoughts. I know that others feel differently.

No, you make a very good point. I agree with you actually (I had noticed that line when I first read it and it was among those that brought on near tears, but I just got a little bit carried away in my enthusiasm ) But yeah, if I actually calm down and reasonably think that's how it was.

That's a very good point. In Lifeline, she told him, practically screamed at him, to go. To not be reckless and jeopardize everything by trying to rescue her, but instead to leave her behind so that he and the others could get back to Atlantis with the ZPM. It's much like the debate between Elizabeth and John in Rising over rescuing Sumner & Co. and the parallel conversation between Carter and Sheppard about rescuing Elizabeth in Reunion. But if they could come up with a way to find Elizabeth and rescue her that had a shot at working without endangering Atlantis, then I think Elizabeth would have been able to accept it despite her previous order. Poor John.

Sparky is on screen. Therefore, it is canon.Elizabeth is still out there. And John WILL bring her home.

I agree with you. No matter how they wrote him it was obvious to me that John was doing what was best for her and what she would have wanted him to do. I watched BIS today after not watching it for a very long time and it was like seeing it for the first time. I was particularly touched by how when Rodney was talking to Elizabeth about how she was confronting her own mortality he was glib and freaked out by the weirdness of it. Not once did he seem to think about how it was affecting her. John was just the opposite. He was never far from her side while she was watching over old Elizabeth and seemed to understand perfectly how she was feeling. And in the last scene on the balcony, the way he looked like he just wished he could say something to comfort her was heartbreaking. How you could watch that episode and not see the Sparky connection is on of life's great mysteries.

ah, I love the end scene of BIS. I just know he wants to say something, but sometimes words are just too much. He realized what she needed most was time. That is a precious gift.

Precisely, because he always understood her very well and she him.
