Lines & Circles is the third studio album released by American boy band O-Town, and the first to be released by the band since their reunion as a four-piece in 2011. The album was recorded over the course of three years, with a number of writers and producers, including Ryan Tedder.
The album was initially due for release on August 3, 2014, but was delayed by three weeks to August 25, due to final touches being made to the production. The band released a mock video on YouTube which claimed the reason for the delay was due to band member Erik Michael Estrada changing the cover art to resemble the cover for the single "Anaconda" by Nicki Minaj. The lead single from the album, "Skydive", was released on July 27, 2014, after being pushed back from the initial release date of June 19, 2014.
The band officially reformed as a four-piece in 2011, without original band member Ashley Parker Angel. Angel declined a return to the group, despite being approached by more than two of the band members. The band released an official statement which said that they "understood Ashley's decision", and "will continue as a band without his input", and "wish him all of the best in his future ventures". The band later announced the album's release date to be August 4, 2014 in a video via their official YouTube account.
You've always been my weakness Thought that I could handle mine Nights are getting sleepless Don't think I can handle this time I said it's over
I didn't really mean it Must have been a rush to the head What could I be thinking 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 cause 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 is sacred Now I'm in the palm of your hand We can't get closer
I don't want to 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 Stepping up to the plate Don't care if it's too soon
I won't lose All I believe in cause I really need you tonight I won't lose You'll have to drag me kicking and screaming Right outta of your life
I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose you yeah yeah (You, you, you) You'll have to drag me kicking and screaming Right outta of your life
If love is a battlefield I'm goin' in, goin' in Fighting for my life tonight I will win, I will win Focused on the prize cause no nothing else matters to me Open your eyes and see that I won't lose
All I believe in cause I really need you tonight I won't lose You'll have to drag me kicking and screaming Right outta of your life
I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose you yeah yeah (You, you, you) You'll have to drag me kicking and screaming Right out of your life
