A Jonas Brothers Fan Blog

Lines, Vines and Trying Times (2009)


Lines, Vines and Trying Times’ is the fourth studio album by the Jonas Brothers and their third album released under Hollywood Records.

Nick stated, “This new album for us I wouldn’t say it’s a big jump, but it definitely is a progression in our music and a growth for us,” he said. “It has a lot more kinds of horns and a lot more strings. In another interview, Nick Jonas explains that the album mostly about “all things we’ve gone through, personal experiences we get inspiration from.” He also added that “we’ve also been working on trying to use metaphors…to kind of mask a literal thing that happens to us…” Kevin Jonas also added that “the overall message is its the same old Jonas Brothers, in a sense” and that they will be adding “different musical instruments that are going to add and build to the sound we already have.”

LYRICS

 

 

World War III
Tonight I walked into the bedroom
You were visibly upset
Tellin’ me I made a bad move
But I didn’t do nothin’
You start screamin’
wake the neighbors
Now everybody’s out for blood
I didn’t want no confrontation
Because of you that’s what I got

Well, you gotta chill out
Cause baby
I don’t wanna fight with you
Every battle we fought
just made us look like fools

No you can’t have a world war III
If there’s only one side fighting
And you know, woah
That there’s lessons left to learn
Every time you attack
Doesn’t drive me to fight you back
Then I know, woah
That I’ll never let it be
World War III
World War III

Now you’re roundin’ up your army
Turnin’ all your troops on me
Tellin’ lies just to feel happy
But I won’t retaliate, no

No you can’t have a world war III
If there’s only one side fighting
And you know, woah
That there’s lessons left to learn
Every time you attack
Doesn’t drive me to fight you back
And I know, woah
That I’ll never let it be
World War III
World War III

Well, you gotta chill out
Cause baby
I don’t wanna fight with you
Every battle we fought
just made us look like fools

No you can’t have a world war III
If there’s only one side fighting
And you know, woah
That there’s lessons left to learn
Every time you attack
Doesn’t drive me to fight you back
And I know, woah
That I’ll never let it be
World War III
World War III

Not gonna be a World War III!
Oh-oh! Oh-oh!

Every time you attack
Doesn’t drive me to fight you back
And I know, woah!
That I’ll never let it be
World War III
World War III
World War III
——————————————————————————————Paranoid
——————————————————————————————I make the most of all the stress
——————————————————————————————I try to live without regrets
——————————————————————————————But I’m about to break a sweat
——————————————————————————————I’m freaking out

——————————————————————————————It’s like a poison in my brain
——————————————————————————————It’s like a fog that blurs the sane
——————————————————————————————It’s like a vine I can’t untangle
——————————————————————————————I’m freaking out

——————————————————————————————Everytime I turn around
——————————————————————————————Something don’t feel right

——————————————————————————————Just might be paranoid
——————————————————————————————I’m avoiding the lines
——————————————————————————————’cause they just might split
——————————————————————————————Can someone stop the noise
——————————————————————————————I don’t know what it is
——————————————————————————————But it just dont fit
——————————————————————————————I’m paranoid
——————————————————————————————Yeah

——————————————————————————————I take the necessary steps
——————————————————————————————To get some air into my chest
——————————————————————————————I’m takin’ all the doctor’s meds
——————————————————————————————/can’t hear the thoughts
——————————————————————————————inside my head/
——————————————————————————————I’m still freaking out

——————————————————————————————That’s why my ex is still my ex
——————————————————————————————I never trust a word she says
——————————————————————————————I’m running all the background checks
——————————————————————————————And she’s freaking out

——————————————————————————————Everytime I turn around
——————————————————————————————Something’s just not right

——————————————————————————————Just might be paranoid
——————————————————————————————I’m avoiding the lines
——————————————————————————————’cause they just might split
——————————————————————————————Can someone stop the noise
——————————————————————————————I don’t know what it is
——————————————————————————————But it just dont fit
——————————————————————————————Consider me destroyed
——————————————————————————————I don’t know how to act
——————————————————————————————’cause I lost my head
——————————————————————————————I must be paranoid
——————————————————————————————And I never thought
——————————————————————————————It would come to this
——————————————————————————————I’m paranoid!

——————————————————————————————Stuck in a room
——————————————————————————————Of staring faces
——————————————————————————————Yeah
——————————————————————————————Caught in a nightmare
——————————————————————————————Can’t wake up
——————————————————————————————If you hear my cry
——————————————————————————————Running through her street
——————————————————————————————I’m about to freak
——————————————————————————————Come and rescue me

——————————————————————————————Just might be paranoid
——————————————————————————————Yeah
——————————————————————————————I’m avoiding the lines
——————————————————————————————’cause they just might split
——————————————————————————————Can someone stop the noise
——————————————————————————————(Someone stop the noise)
——————————————————————————————I don’t know what it is
——————————————————————————————but it just dont fit
——————————————————————————————Consider me destroyed
——————————————————————————————(Consider me destroyed)
——————————————————————————————I dont know how to act
——————————————————————————————cause I lost my head
——————————————————————————————Oh I must be paranoid
——————————————————————————————(Must be paranoid)
——————————————————————————————I never thought it would come to this
——————————————————————————————I’m paranoid
Fly With Me
If time were still
The sun would never
never never find us
We could light up
the sky tonight
I could see the world
through your eyes
And leave it all behind

If it’s you and me forever
If it’s you and me right now
That’d be alright, be alright
If we chase the stars
to lose our shadow
Peter Pan and Wendy
turned out fine
So won’t you fly with me

Ooooh yeah
Gotta fly with me now

Now the past
Has come alive
And given meaning
And a reason
To give all I can
To believe once again

If it’s you and me forever
If it’s you and me right now
That’d be alright, be alright
If we chase the stars
to lose our shadow
Peter Pan and Wendy
turned out fine
So won’t you fly with me

Maybe you were just afraid
Knowing you were miles away
From a place
where you needed to be
And that’s right here with me

You and me forever
You and me right now
That’d be alright
If we chase the stars
to lose our shadow
Peter Pan and Wendy
turned out fine
So won’t you fly
With me

If it’s you and me forever
If it’s you and me right now
That’d be alright, be alright
If we chase the stars
to lose our shadow
Peter Pan and Wendy
turned out fine
So won’t you fly
Fly
Fly
With me

——————————————————————————————Before The Storm
——————————————————————————————I know this isn’t what I wanted
——————————————————————————————I never thought it’d come this far
——————————————————————————————Just thinkin’ back
——————————————————————————————to where we started
——————————————————————————————And how we lost all that we are

——————————————————————————————We were young
——————————————————————————————and times were easy
——————————————————————————————But I could see it’s not the same
——————————————————————————————I’m standing here
——————————————————————————————but you don’t see me
——————————————————————————————I’d give it all for that to change

——————————————————————————————And I don’t want to lose her
——————————————————————————————Don’t wanna let her go

——————————————————————————————Standing out in the rain
——————————————————————————————Need to know if it’s over
——————————————————————————————Cause I would leave you alone

——————————————————————————————Flooded with all this pain
——————————————————————————————Knowing that I’ll never hold her

——————————————————————————————Like I did before the storm
——————————————————————————————Yeah
——————————————————————————————Before the storm

——————————————————————————————With every strike of lightning
——————————————————————————————Comes a memory that lasts

——————————————————————————————And not a word is left unspoken
——————————————————————————————As the thunder starts to crash
——————————————————————————————Maybe I should give up

——————————————————————————————Standing out in the rain
——————————————————————————————Need to know if it’s over
——————————————————————————————Cause I would leave you alone

——————————————————————————————Flooded with all this pain
——————————————————————————————Knowing that I’ll never hold her
——————————————————————————————Like I did before the storm

——————————————————————————————Trying to keep
——————————————————————————————the lights from going out

——————————————————————————————And the clouds from ripping
——————————————————————————————out my broken heart
——————————————————————————————They always say,
——————————————————————————————A heart is not a whole
——————————————————————————————Without the one who
——————————————————————————————gets you through the storm

——————————————————————————————Standin’ out in the rain
——————————————————————————————Knowing that it’s really over
——————————————————————————————Please don’t leave me alone
——————————————————————————————I’m flooded with all this pain,
——————————————————————————————Knowing that I’ll never hold you
——————————————————————————————Like I did before the storm

——————————————————————————————Yeah
——————————————————————————————Like I did before,
——————————————————————————————The storm
What Did I Do to Your Heart
Baby Girl, I’m just a bit confused
You’ve been acting
like you’ve been abused
By me lately,
What’s going on?

All I do is treat you with respect
All the best and never nothing less
You continue to cry
And I just don’t know why

What did I do to your heart?
What did I do to your heart?
Did I break it apart?
Did I break it, your heart

What did I do to your heart?
What did I do to your heart?
Did I break it apart?
Did I break it, your heart

All I ever get is attitude
Constant never-ending bad mood
From you baby,
what’s going on?

All I need is just an answer please
So I can show you
what you mean to me
But you continue to cry,
And I just don’t know why

What did I do to your heart?
What did I do to your heart?
Did I break it apart?
Did I break it, your heart

What did I do to your heart?
What did I do to your heart?
Did I break it apart?
Did I break it, your heart

Whoo!

What did I do to your
Yeah

What did I do to your heart?
What did I do to your heart?
Did I break it apart?
Did I break it, your heart

What did I do to your heart?
Tell me,
What did I do to your heart?
Did I break it apart?
Did I break it, your heart
——————————————————————————————Much Better
——————————————————————————————Get a rep for breakin’ hearts
——————————————————————————————Now I’m done with superstars
——————————————————————————————And all the tears on her guitar
——————————————————————————————I’m not bitter

——————————————————————————————Now I see
——————————————————————————————Everything I’d ever need
——————————————————————————————Is the girl in front of me
——————————————————————————————She’s much better

——————————————————————————————You, I wanna fly with you
——————————————————————————————Tear up the sky with you
——————————————————————————————You’re much better!
——————————————————————————————You, I wanna fight with you
——————————————————————————————Make up tonight with you

——————————————————————————————Now I’ve got some enemies
——————————————————————————————And they’re all friends suddenly
——————————————————————————————BFF’s eternally
——————————————————————————————But I’m not bitter

——————————————————————————————I believe that the
——————————————————————————————road that people lead
——————————————————————————————Helps you find the one you need
——————————————————————————————You’re much better
——————————————————————————————Yeah!

——————————————————————————————You, I wanna fight with you

Black Keys
She walks away
Colors fade to gray
And every precious
moment now erased

She hits the gas
Hoping it would pass
But the red light starts to flash
It’s time to wait

And the black keys
Never looked so beautiful
And a perfect rainbow
Never seemed so dull
And the lights out
Never had this bright a glow
And the black keys
Are showing me a world I never knew, no
A world I never knew

She hates the sun
Cause it proves she’s not alone
And the world doesn’t
revolve around her soul
She loves the sky
cause it validates her pride
Never lets her know
when she is wrong

And the black keys
never looked so beautiful
And a perfect rainbow
never seemed so dull
And the lights out
Never had this bright a glow
And the black keys
Are showing me
A world I never know, no

Yeah
When the walls are closing in
Don’t let ‘em get
Inside of your head
Don’t let ‘em get
Inside of your head
Don’t let ‘em get
Inside of your head
Don’t let them inside

Cause the black keys
Never looked so beautiful
And a perfect rainbow
Never seemed so dull
Oh-oh!
And the lights out
Never had this bright a glow
And the black keys
Showing me a world I never knew

Don’t let ‘em get
Don’t let ‘em get
Inside of your head
No
Don’t let ‘em get
Inside of your head
Don’t let ‘em get
Don’t let ‘em get
Inside of your head
Don’t let ‘em get
No
Inside of your head

Sometimes a fight is
better black and white…
——————————————————————————————Don’t Charge Me For The Crime
——————————————————————————————This is life in this world
——————————————————————————————Some things go right
——————————————————————————————Some things go wrong
——————————————————————————————It’s just how the world can be
——————————————————————————————People just wanna be free
——————————————————————————————Yeah…

——————————————————————————————The verdict came in
——————————————————————————————and they said I was guilty
——————————————————————————————I looked at the judge,
——————————————————————————————“Hey America built me”
——————————————————————————————Tried to get rich,
——————————————————————————————but they labeled me filthy
——————————————————————————————Only God can judge me,
——————————————————————————————touch me, feel me…

——————————————————————————————My friend calls me at 9 o-clock
——————————————————————————————Says,
——————————————————————————————“Get the car it’s time to rock”
——————————————————————————————Never heard him speak this way

——————————————————————————————(Let’s go, man)

——————————————————————————————I grab the keys and hit the road
——————————————————————————————It’s all a flash but who would know
——————————————————————————————How the story will unfold
——————————————————————————————Don’t charge me for the crime

——————————————————————————————Wrong place, wrong time
——————————————————————————————Don’t charge me for the crime
——————————————————————————————Wrong place, wrong time
——————————————————————————————Don’t charge me for the crime

——————————————————————————————My friend gets in the car with bags
——————————————————————————————Filled to the top with loads of cash
——————————————————————————————Throws his pistol on the dash

——————————————————————————————Says, “I’m sorry for the crime
——————————————————————————————That I’ve involved you in this time
——————————————————————————————You’re the only friend I’ve got”
——————————————————————————————So don’t charge me for the crime

——————————————————————————————Wrong place, wrong time
——————————————————————————————Don’t charge me for the crime
——————————————————————————————Wrong place, wrong time
——————————————————————————————So don’t charge me for the crime

——————————————————————————————I start to freak and scream so loud
——————————————————————————————Just like the females in the crowd
——————————————————————————————That’s when he gets in my head

——————————————————————————————(Come on, man
——————————————————————————————Come on, you gotta do this)

——————————————————————————————You could live just like a king
——————————————————————————————With everything you’d ever need
——————————————————————————————All the dreams of every man
——————————————————————————————Don’t charge me for the crime

——————————————————————————————Wrong place, wrong time
——————————————————————————————Don’t charge me for the crime
——————————————————————————————Wrong place, wrong time
——————————————————————————————Don’t charge me…

——————————————————————————————Siren sound and
——————————————————————————————my heart was poundin’
——————————————————————————————I looked at my man
——————————————————————————————as the cops surround him
——————————————————————————————A teen on the scene
——————————————————————————————with no objective
——————————————————————————————The American dream
——————————————————————————————can be so deceptive

——————————————————————————————Now I see the flashing lights
——————————————————————————————There goes my future and my life
——————————————————————————————Now I’ve got to do what’s right

——————————————————————————————(They got us man,
——————————————————————————————They got us)

——————————————————————————————I stop the car and throw the keys
——————————————————————————————Out of the window sets me free
——————————————————————————————I throw the pistol in the back

——————————————————————————————I throw him out of the car
——————————————————————————————I said,
——————————————————————————————you know me well
——————————————————————————————I’m not going to jail
——————————————————————————————I’m not paying your bail
——————————————————————————————Believe me when I say
——————————————————————————————You wont charge me for the crime

——————————————————————————————Wrong place, wrong time
——————————————————————————————Don’t charge me for the crime
——————————————————————————————Wrong place, wrong time
——————————————————————————————Don’t charge me…
——————————————————————————————Wrong place, wrong time
——————————————————————————————Don’t charge me for the crime
——————————————————————————————Wrong place, wrong time
——————————————————————————————Don’t charge me for the
——————————————————————————————Crime
Turn Right
Pick up all your tears
Throw ‘em in your backseat
Leave without a second glance
Somehow I’m to blame
For this never-ending
racetrack you call life

So turn right
Into my arms
Turn right
You won’t be alone
You might
Fall off this track sometimes
Hope to see you
on the finish line

You’re driving all your friends out
At your speed they cannot follow
Soon you will be on your own
Somehow I’m to blame
For this never-ending
racetrack you call life

So turn right (Turn right)
Into my arms
Turn right (Turn right)
You won’t be alone
You might (You might)
Fall off this track sometimes
Hope to see you
at the finish line

I did all I could
And I gave
Everything
But you had to go your way
And that road was not for me

So turn right
Into my arms
Turn right
You won’t be alone
You might (You might)
Fall off this track sometimes
Hope to see you at the finish line
——————————————————————————————Don’t Speak
——————————————————————————————I thought
——————————————————————————————I was cool
——————————————————————————————But I just looked
——————————————————————————————a fool for so long,
——————————————————————————————Now you’re gone,
——————————————————————————————Now you’re gone, yeah
——————————————————————————————Don’t speak to me,
——————————————————————————————Don’t speak to me

——————————————————————————————I recall all the fights
——————————————————————————————Most of all, all the times
——————————————————————————————where you would lie in my arms
——————————————————————————————Now you’re gone, you’re gone
——————————————————————————————Don’t speak to me,
——————————————————————————————don’t be my aim

——————————————————————————————There’s a lot that you don’t notice
——————————————————————————————when you read between the lines
——————————————————————————————The future’s out of focus,
——————————————————————————————and you’re blinded by the light
——————————————————————————————It’s a hope for all the hopeless
——————————————————————————————And the worst of trying times
——————————————————————————————I resort to being speechless
——————————————————————————————Cause our love won’t survive
——————————————————————————————Our love won’t survive

——————————————————————————————Don’t speak a word

——————————————————————————————Don’t speak to me,
——————————————————————————————Don’t speak to me, yeah
——————————————————————————————There’s a lot that you don’t notice
——————————————————————————————when you read between the lines
——————————————————————————————The future’s out of focus,

Keep It Real
Dream of the day
when the songs that you play
Are blasting through
the speakers in your car
Then it comes in a flash
and you hear the crowd
Screaming out your name for the encore

Living life
Life in the fast lane
Not that bad
No, we can’t complain
Who’s to say
That we won’t keep it real
Hold on tight
Don’t you dare let go
Now’s the time
Let the whole world know
You can shine bright
but still keep it real

Who could know that
you’d be on the road
Selling out the tickets to your show
When you’re home,
you’re still the one
You were before you
left to go on tour

Living life
Life in the fast lane
Not that bad
No, we can’t complain
Who’s to say
That we won’t keep it real
Hold on tight
Don’t you dare let go
Now’s the time
Let the whole world know
You can shine bright
but still keep it real

Did you ever think your dreams
would become a reality?
Woah!
And all you did was just believe

Living life
Life in the fast lane
Not that bad
No, we can’t complain
Who’s to say
That we won’t keep it real

Living life
Life in the fast lane
Not that bad
No, we can’t complain
Who’s to say
That we won’t keep it real
Hold on tight
Don’t you dare let go
Now’s the time
Let the whole world know
You can shine bright
but still keep it real
