Jonas Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You and me and no one else
That don't include your crazy friends
Well I'm done (I'm done)
With awkward situations, empty conversations
Ooh, this is an S.O.S.
Don't wanna second guess
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 (I'm done)
With texting sorry for the miscommunication
Ooh, 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
Giving you a high five (high five)
'Cause hugs are overrated just FYI
Ooh, 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
Yeah, ooh, 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 (call I'll never get)
(Call I'll never get)
The Jonas Brothers' song SOS is a breakup song about a relationship that has reached its end. The first verse sets the scene of a couple who had plans for a dinner date, just the two of them, without any interference from their friends. It seems that the singer is getting fed up with the issues in their relationship as he describes the conversations as "empty." The chorus starts with the lines "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." The chorus lays out the crux of his feelings about the breakup - he gave everything he had to the relationship, and it still didn't work out. He is heartbroken and cannot find the other half of his heart.
The second verse features the means through which the break-up happens - a conversation on I-M (instant messaging) that leads to texting, and then it's over. The chorus repeats itself twice to emphasize the singer's feelings about the relationship. The lyrics show that he does not want to wonder if he could have done something differently, because he gave the relationship his all. In the final verse, he claims that next time he sees his former significant other, he will give them a high five because hugs are overrated, which could indicate that he is trying to dismiss the importance of the relationship and move on.
