"The Lines You Amend" is a song by Canadian rock band Sloan.

Bassist-vocalist Chris Murphy described the song as being "about suicide", and said, "We sort of breeze through it like it's a cutesy number, but the lyrics are heavy.

[6] Billboard magazine's critic suggested it was in the style of Violent Femmes.

[7] Rolling Stone's critic wrote that the song begins sounding like "The Ballad of John and Yoko", but then becomes "a likable hybrid of T. Rex and Crowded House.
