On the Line is a 2001 American romantic comedy film starring Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and Emmanuelle Chriqui. The film was directed by Eric Bross and was written by Eric Aronson and Paul Stanton, based upon their short film of the same name.
The film opens with Kevin (Lance Bass), an advertisement employee, on stage, performing at a high school grad party. He sees the girl he likes, and his bandmates try to get him to sing to her and ask her out. He becomes nervous, ends up seeing himself naked in front of everyone, and faints. Fast-forward 7 years, and Kevin's in advertising. He makes a pitch for Reebok that gets shot down. The pitch is later used in the meeting by his "partner" Jackie (Tamala Jones) who presents it as hers at the last minute. As he takes the train home from work, he meets Abbey (Emmanuelle Chriqui). They hit it off talking about their similar interests (The Cubs, Al Green, etc.). As they go their separate ways, they hesitate but eventually leave. They each go home and discuss the encounter with their friends.
Yeah, yeah
Don't you feel natural lying beside me
Running your fingers through my hair
A kiss so tender
Baby surrender
Is it so hard to say you care
Don't know how to take it
Don't know where we are
How we gonna make it
If you can't put your heart
On the line
Line, got to be willing
Let the way you're feeling
On the line
Try to imagine how it will sound
If you close your eyes and no words came out
It's so easy
Tell me the truth
Say you love me like I know you do
Where do we take it
How do we start
If you want us to make it
Got to put your heart
On the line
Line, got to be willing
Let the way you're feeling
On the line
On the line
Line, baby how willing
To let the way you're feeling
On the line
Oh I
Don't think that saying you love me
Make you less a man
I know it's not an easy thing
Come on put your heart
Put your heart in my hands
No, no, no
Baby I'm willing
Where do we take it
How do we start
If you want us to make it
Got to put your heart
On the line
Line, baby how willing
To let the way you're feeling
On the line
On the line
Line, got to be willing
To let the way you're feeling
