“Music on Red Bull.” Without hesitating, that’s how 19-year-old Kevin Jonas describes the hyper-adrenalized sounds he’s created with his two brothers, 14-year-old Nicholas and 17-year-old Joseph, on the Jonas Brothers’ debut album, It’s About Time.

 LYRICS

 


What I Go to School For
Her voice is echoed in my mind
I count the days till she is mine
Can’t tell my friends ’cause they will laugh
I love a girl from senior class
I daydream through freshman math
While she fills our her college apps
I’ll show her a world where we belong
But she’ll have to drive us to the prom

That’s what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore
You can call me crazy
She is so amazing
That’s what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore
Girlfriends I’ve had plenty
But she’s the one that I need
That’s what I go to school for
That’s what I go to school for

Her boyfriend’s just turning nineteen
But that doesn’t bother me
He’s back at college out of town
I find a reason to go round
I climb a tree outside her home
To make sure she is alone
She looks up and sees me there
Still I can’t help but stop and stare

That’s what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore
You can call me crazy
She is so amazing
That’s what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore
Girlfriends I’ve had plenty
But she’s the one that I need
That’s what I go to school for
That’s what I, what I, what I go to school for

Everyone that you see all day knows
You’re looking at me in a different way
I guess that’s why my marks are getting so high
I can see those tell tale signs
Telling me that I was on your mind
I could see that you wanted more
When you told me that I’m what you go to school for
I’m what you go to school for

She’s made her choice and I’m the one
At least ’til graduation comes
We drive past school to wave goodbye
My friends they can’t believe their eyes

That’s what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore
You can call me crazy
She is so amazing
That’s what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore
Girlfriends I’ve had plenty
But she’s the one that I need
That’s what I go to school for
That’s what I, what I, what I go to school for


——————————————————————————————Time for me to fly
——————————————————————————————I’ve been wasting my time
——————————————————————————————I’ve been losing my mind
——————————————————————————————I’ve been running races
——————————————————————————————Still don’t know what I’ve been chasing
——————————————————————————————But my eyes still can see
——————————————————————————————Bluer skies that wait for me
——————————————————————————————And I’m on my way

——————————————————————————————Time for me to fly
——————————————————————————————Time for me to soar
——————————————————————————————Time for me to open up my heart
——————————————————————————————and knock on heavens door
——————————————————————————————Time for me to live
——————————————————————————————It’s time for me to sing
——————————————————————————————Time for me to lay down all my worries
——————————————————————————————and I’ll spread my wings
——————————————————————————————Time for me to fly

——————————————————————————————Life can be a heavy ride
——————————————————————————————When the clouds are in your eyes
——————————————————————————————But I feel a calling
——————————————————————————————I will rise, I won’t be falling
——————————————————————————————I’ll escape the gravity
——————————————————————————————And I’ll reach my destiny
——————————————————————————————And I’ll fly away

——————————————————————————————Time for me to fly
——————————————————————————————Time for me to soar
——————————————————————————————Time for me to open up my heart
——————————————————————————————and knock on heavens door
——————————————————————————————Time for me to live
——————————————————————————————It’s time for me to sing
——————————————————————————————Time for me to lay down all my worries
——————————————————————————————and I’ll spread my wings
——————————————————————————————Time for me to fly

——————————————————————————————The gates of heaven will open wide
——————————————————————————————I will be, I will rise
——————————————————————————————There won’t be compromise
——————————————————————————————As I take to the open skies
——————————————————————————————I will fly away
——————————————————————————————I will fly away
——————————————————————————————I will fly away


Year 3000
One day when I came home at lunchtime,
I heard a funny noise.
Went out to the back yard to find out
if it was one of those rowdy boys.
Stood there with my neighbor called Peter,
And a Flux Capacitor

He told me he built a time machine.
Like one in a film I’ve seen,
Yeah

He said,
I’ve been to the year 3000
Not much has changed,
but they lived under water.
And your great great great grand daughter,
Is doing fine (is doing fine).

He took me to the future
in the flux thing, and I saw everything.
Boy bands, and another one
and another one … and another one!
Girls there with round hair like
Star Wars float above the floor

We drove around in a time machine,
Like the one in the film I’ve seen..
Yeah!

He said,
I’ve been to the year 3000
Not much has changed,
but they lived under water.
And your great great great grand daughter,
Is doing fine (is doing fine)

I took a ship to the year 3000
This song had gone multi-platinum
Everybody bought our 7th album
It had outsold Kelly Clarkson
I took a ship to the year 3000
This song had gone multi-platinum
Everybody bought our 7th album,
(7th album, 7th album)

He told me he built a time machine
Like the one in a film I’ve seen,
Yeah yeah…

I’ve been to the year 3000
Not much has changed,
but they lived under water.
And your great great great grand daughter,
Is doing fine (doing fine)

(OH YEAH)

He said,
I’ve been to the year 3000
Not much has changed,
but they lived under water
And your great great great grand daughter, (grand daughter)
Is doing fine (doing fine, doing fine)

He said,
I’ve been to the year 3000.
Not much has changed (not much)
but they lived under water
And your great great great grand daughter,
Is doing fine (idoing fine)

He said,
I’ve been to the year 3000.
Not much has changed
but they lived under water
And your great great great grand daughter,
Is doing fine
Doing fine!
Ha!

6 Minutes
She’s the kinda girl
that you see in the movies
Seen her in my dreams
and now she’s standing next to me
Down by the shore
first weekend of the summer
Gotta take a chance
and just ask for her number
I wish I had a song on MTV
Cause in crowded room
I’d be the only one she sees
She’s looking bored and now
I’m running out of time
I’ve only got six minutes if
I’m gonna make her mine

One minute and the earth begins to shake
Two minutes and my hearts begins to break
Another minute and she makes me feel brand new
That’s just three minutes with you
Four minutes and she’s everything I see
Five minutes and she’s were I wanna be
Another minute everything just feels so new
I need six minutes with you
Six minutes

She’s looking at her watch
while the dj is spinning
This could be the end
or it’s just the beginning
She’s the kinda girl that
I wanna know better
Reaching for her keys
so I guess it’s now or never
I wish that I was on the radio
I’d sing her favorite song
she’d be front row at every show
This party’s lame and now
I’m running out of time
I’ve only got six minutes
if I’m gonna make her mine

One minute and the earth begins to shake
Two minutes and my hearts begins to break
Another minute and she makes me feel brand new
That’s just three minutes with you
Four minutes and she’s everything I see
Five minutes and she’s were I wanna be
Another minute everything feels so new
I need six minutes with you
Six minutes

Sometimes I feel like the catcher in the rye
Sometimes I wish that I could catch her eye
Sometimes I wish that I could be that guy
(that guy, that guy, that guy)

Yeah…
Time is passing by
I’m losing my mind
I need
1 2 3 4 5 6 minutes with you

One minute and the earth begins to shake
Two minutes and my hearts begins to break
Another minute and she makes me feel brand new
That’s just three minutes with you
Four minutes and she’s everything I see
Five minutes and she’s were I wanna be
Another minute everything feels so new
I need six minutes with you
Six minutes


——————————————————————————————Mandy
——————————————————————————————Mandy used to be that girl
——————————————————————————————The one that never said a word
——————————————————————————————But she only sang
——————————————————————————————S Club 7 and all those boy bands
——————————————————————————————Now it’s been a few years
——————————————————————————————It looks like things have changed
——————————————————————————————Now she’s mine and I want to say

You Just Don’t Know It
You just don’t know it
It’s getting hard to say hello
You just don’t know it
I’m on the edge of crossing the line
I don’t want to blow it, or show it
Before you know you’re mine
You just don’t know it

Oh, you won’t see me break
Won’t make that mistake
Oh no I’ll just walk away
There too much at stake right now
I go on and on singing
this song about you
And that’s what’s wrong with this song

Can you feel it?
In the way I look at you
Girl, can you hear it?
I’m crying out inside
I don’t want to see you,
Be near you
You’re a million miles too close

Oh, you won’t see me break
Won’t make that mistake
Oh no I’ll just walk away
There too much at stake right now
I go on and on singing
this song about you
And that’s what’s wrong with this song

You don’t know the way I feel
(the way I feel)
So I’ll stay alone
(stay alone)

Oh, you won’t see me break
Won’t make that mistake
Oh no I’ll just walk away
There too much at stake right now
I go on and on singing
this song about you

And that’s what’s wrong with this song
(that’s what’s wrong)
That’s what’s wrong with this song
(that’s what’s wrong with this song)
And that’s what’s wrong with this song
You just don’t know it

——————————————————————————————And I won’t back down

——————————————————————————————Right up until my dying day
——————————————————————————————Because that’s how it goes
——————————————————————————————head to my toes
——————————————————————————————And if it doesn’t show
——————————————————————————————well I just had to let you know

——————————————————————————————Because,
——————————————————————————————I am what I am
——————————————————————————————And nobody else

——————————————————————————————I am what I am
——————————————————————————————Hey! Hey!

——————————————————————————————Oh can’t you see?
——————————————————————————————I’m just being me
——————————————————————————————I can’t be you
——————————————————————————————And I don’t want to be
——————————————————————————————Don’t try to get
——————————————————————————————Inside my head
——————————————————————————————Cause what you see is what you get

——————————————————————————————I am what I am
——————————————————————————————I can’t help myself
——————————————————————————————And if you don’t like it

Underdog
She’s an underdog
Lives next door to me
She’s always heard
“You won’t amount to anything”
And it kills me to watch
the agony beyond her eyes
Tragic the way people pass her by
But now I realize

That everyone sees her
But nobody knows her
She screams in her pillow
For a better tomorrow
She hates it
But she takes it
Watch out for that girl
One day she may change the world

She’s original
Never trying to fit in
She’s got a way to always go
Against the grain
Oh yeah!
Someday they’ll see
how beautiful she really is
I know the last will be the first
The table’s gonna turn cause…

That everyone sees her
But nobody knows her
She screams in her pillow
For a better tomorrow
She hates it
But she fakes it
Watch out for that girl
One day she may change the world

Maybe she’ll be in a movie
Maybe she’ll be in a song (Yeah!)
Better pay her some attention
Before she’s gone

She’s an underdog
Yeah
She means the world to me
Yeah!

Everyone sees her
But nobody knows her
She screams in her pillow
For a better tomorrow
She hates it
But she makes it
Watch out for that girl
One day she may change the world

Everyone sees her
But nobody knows her
She screams in her pillow
For a better tomorrow
She hates it
But she makes it
Watch out for that girl
One day she may change the world

Please Be Mine
They come and go but they don’t know
That you are my beautiful

All our hopes and
our dreams will come true

The end of time

I’m in and out of love with you
Trying to find if it’s really true
(Oh no no no no)
How can I prove my love
If they all think I’m not good enough

But I’ll be there forever
You will see that it’s better
All our hopes and
our dreams will come true
I will not disappoint you
I’ll be right there for you ’til the end
The end of time
Please be mine

(Oh yeah!)

I can’t stop the rain from falling
Can’t stop my heart from calling you
It’s calling you
I can’t stop the rain from falling
Can’t stop my heart from calling you
It’s calling you
I can’t stop the rain
I can’t stop the rain from falling
I an’t stop my heart from calling you
It’s calling you

But I’ll be there forever
And you will see that it’s better (much better)
All our hopes and our dreams,
they will come true (they will come true)

I will be right there for you ’til the end
The end of time
Please be mine
