S.O.S.
[Jonas Brothers] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Told you I made dinner plans
You and me and no one else
That don't include your crazy friends
Well I'm done with awkward situation's empty, conversations

This is an S.O.S.
Don't wanna second guess
This is the bottom line,
it's true, I gave my all for you
Now my heart's in two
And I can't find the other half
It's like I'm walking on broken glass
Better believe I bled
It's a call I'll never get

So this is where the story ends
A conversation on I-M
Well I'm done, were texting
Sorry for the mis-communication

This is an S.O.S.
Don't wanna second guess
This is the bottom line
It's true, I gave my all for you
Now my heart's in two
And I can't find the other half
It's like I'm walking on broken glass
Better believe I bled
It's a call I'll never get

Next time I see you
I'm giving you a high five
Cause hugs are overrated just F-Y-I

This is an S.O.S.
Don't wanna second guess
This is the bottom line
It's true, I gave my all for you
now my heart's in two

This is an S.O.S.
Don't wanna second guess
This is the bottom line
It's true, I gave my all for you
Now my heart's in two
And I can't find the other half
It's like I'm walking on broken glass




Better believe I bled
It's a call I'll never get

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of S.O.S. by the Jonas Brothers tell a story of a relationship that has reached its breaking point due to constant miscommunication and empty conversations. The singer has grown tired of awkward situations caused by their partner's friends and is ready to end the relationship. The chorus repeats the urgent message: "This is an S.O.S./ Don't wanna second guess/ This is the bottom line/ It's true, I gave my all for you/ Now my heart's in two/ And I can't find the other half/ It's like I'm walking on broken glass/ Better believe I bled/ It's a call I'll never get."


The verses show the singer's frustration and sadness at the situation. They had made plans for dinner, hoping for a meaningful conversation, but instead found themselves disappointed once again. They try to express their feelings over text, but it's too late, and the relationship is over. The final lines are somewhat tongue-in-cheek, as the singer vows to give their ex a high-five instead of a hug, indicating that they've moved on and aren't looking back.

[Verse 1]
Where are those happy days? They seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love? I wish I understood
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good

[Chorus]
So, when you're near me, darling, can't you hear me? S.O.S
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me, S.O.S
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, though I try, how can I carry on?

[Verse 2]
You seem so far away though you are standing near
You made me feel alive, but something died I fear
I really tried to make it out, I wish I understood
What happened to our love? It used to be so good

[Chorus]
So, when you're near me, darling, can't you hear me? S.O.S
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me, S.O.S
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, though I try, how can I carry on?

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
So, when you're near me, darling, can't you hear me? S.O.S
And the love you gave me, nothing else can save me, S.O.S
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, though I try, how can I carry on?

[Outro]
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, though I try, how can I carry on?



@JohnDoe-id7zv

So true! The first song I listened from them was "One Of Us" (which ironically is one of the last ones) and now I am addicted to them, so perfect!

Dancing Queen
Knowing me, knowing you
When all is said and done
I have a dream
Another town, another train
Winners take it all
Summer night city
I've been waiting for you
This one (SOS)
Thank you for the music
Angeleyes
One of us
Lay all your love on me

And sooo many other great perfect songs! Surely they are one of the best bands ever, with lots of top songs. Love them! #ABBA2018

Where are those happy days? They seem so hard to find
I try to reach for you, but you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love? I wish I understood
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good
So when you're near me, darling
Can't you hear me, S.O.S.?
The love you gave me
Nothing else can save me, S.O.S.
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, though I try, how can I carry on?
You seemed so far away, though you were standing near
You made me feel alive, but something died, I fear
I really tried to make it up, I wish I understood
What happened to our love? It used to be so good
So when you're near me, darling
Can't you hear me, S.O.S.?
The love you gave me
Nothing else can save me, S.O.S.
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, though I try, how can I carry on?
So when you're near me, darling
Can't you hear me, S.O.S.?
And the love you gave me
Nothing else can save me, S.O.S.
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, though I try, how can I carry on?
When you're gone, how can I even try to go on?
When you're gone, though I try, how can I carry on?

"S. O. S."

Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find
I tried to reach for you, but you have closed your mind
Whatever happened to our love?
I wish I understood
It used to be so nice, it used to be so good

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on?

You seem so far away though you are standing near
You made me feel alive, but something died I fear
I really tried to make it out
I wish I understood
What happened to our love, it used to be so good

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on?

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me
S. O. S.
And the love you gave me, nothing else can save me
S. O. S.
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on?
When you're gone
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone
Though I try how can I carry on?

Ooohhhh! Oohhh, the ... melody, the ... ahh, the ... the harmony, James! Oh yes! The music, James! Aahhhh!
Thank you Mr Bond! What a performance!

I cannot find all the words!

"Well, my dear, I shall get you a dictionary so you can keep on improving your English vocabulary." (To paraphrase the opening scene to The Spy Who Loved Me.)
That's what was great about the 70s: Pop was fun. Bond was fun, not a robot. Nothing too forlorn or God-forsaken.
