In 2004, shortly after O-Town split, Jacob Underwood began making music with his band Jacob's Loc. Their music style is a mix of rock, country and a little bit of funk.
Ashley Parker Angel stepped back into the spotlight in 2006 with a show on MTV (There and Back) that detailed his life after O-Town and his 2006 solo album, "Soundtrack to Your Life".
In 2011, O-Town reformed, though without Ashley, and continued on as a 4-piece. Skydive, their official comeback single, was released on 27 July 2014, and was shortly followed by the release of the band's third studio album, Lines & Circles.
I Won't Lose
O-Town Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yah eeh yah
You’ve always been my weakness
thought that I could handle life
nights are getting sleepless
don’t think I can handle this time
I said it’s over
Must’ve been a rush to the head
What could I be thinkin’
Ain’t nobody else I wanna love instead
'Cause this soul is only one and I found it
This could be the greatest mistake
But I can’t let it wait
any longer
I’m stepping up to the plate
don’t care if it’s too soon
I won’t lose
All I believe in
Is I really need you tonight
I won’t lose
You’ll have to drag me
kicking and screaming
Right out of your life
Don’t know how it happened
I just hope that you understand
Nothing else was sacred
Now I’m in the palm of your hand
We can’t get closer
I don’t wanna gamble
There’s so much we can’t leave behind
I’ll meet you in the middle
Just to buy a little time
Oh
All I really want is to make it right
This could be the greatest mistake
But I can’t let it wait
any longer
Oh no
I’m stepping up to the plate
don’t care if it’s too soon
I won’t lose
All I believe in
Is I really need you tonight
I won’t lose
You’ll have to drag me kicking and screaming
Right out of your life
I don’t wanna lose
I don’t wanna lose
I don’t wanna lose
I don’t wanna lose you
Ya yah
You’ll have to drag me
kicking and screaming
right out of your life
If love is a battlefield I’m going in (goin’ in)
Fighting for my life tonight
I will win (I will win)
Focused on the prize cuz now nothing else matters to me
Open your eyes and see that I won’t lose
All I believe in
Is I really need you tonight
I won’t lose
You’ll have to drag me
kicking and screaming
Right out of your life
I don’t wanna lose
I don’t wanna lose
I don’t wanna lose
I don’t wanna lose you (yah yah)
You’ll have to drag me kicking and screaming
Right out of your life

You’ve always been my weakness
I've always been vulnerable to you
thought that I could handle life
I thought I could manage without you
nights are getting sleepless
Without you, I'm having trouble sleeping at night
don’t think I can handle this time
I don't think I can handle this situation without you
I said it’s over
I broke it off with you before
I didn’t really mean it
I said it in the heat of the moment, but I didn't really mean it
Must’ve been a rush to the head
I must have been acting impulsively
What could I be thinkin’
I'm regretting my decision
Ain’t nobody else I wanna love instead
I've realized that there's no one else I'd rather be with
'Cause this soul is only one and I found it
I've found my soulmate
This could be the greatest mistake
Getting back together with you could be a risk
But I can’t let it wait any longer
I can't wait any longer to try again with you

I'm taking charge and making an effort
don’t care if it’s too soon
I don't care if it's too early to reconcile
I won’t lose

All I know is that I need you tonight
You’ll have to drag me kicking and screaming Right out of your life
I'm committed to staying in your life
Don’t know how it happened
I don't know how we drifted apart
I just hope that you understand
I hope you can forgive me and see things from my perspective
Nothing else was sacred
No other relationships I've had have been as meaningful as ours
Now I’m in the palm of your hand
Now you have control over me
We can’t get closer
We're already as close as we need to be
I don’t wanna gamble
I don't want to risk losing you again
There’s so much we can’t leave behind
We have too much history to just let go of our relationship
I’ll meet you in the middle
I'll compromise with you
Just to buy a little time
Just to give us time to figure things out
If love is a battlefield I’m going in (goin’ in)
I'm willing to fight for love
Fighting for my life tonight
I'm giving my all to this relationship tonight
I will win (I will win)
I'm determined to win this time
Focused on the prize cuz now nothing else matters to me
All that matters to me now is us and our relationship
Open your eyes and see that I won’t lose
I want you to see that I'm committed to making this work
I don’t wanna lose you
I don't want to lose you again
