On The Verge Lyrics
Play it so safe to stay on top
Shake it, imitate it, but it still sounds old
We just can't understand why the man calls it lo-fi
So get your bags packed now and I'll meet you on the outside
"X"-out all self-supervision, get your keys out now start the ignition
We're on the verge of . . . All right
When you’re shipwrecked on your mattress I'll come in and show you how
To hijack the past and wind up in right now
Grab some clothes, three chords and a video camera
Maybe a mic, some handiwipes, a typewriter, and a hammer
"X"-out all self-supervision get your keys out now start the ignition
We're on the verge of . . . All right
Why don't you come over now, I'll buzz you up
Cuz you know when you're around I can't get enough
I'm gonna follow you wait, straight into the late night
Cuz you're so on fire and you already know
"X"-out all self-supervision get your keys out now start the ignition
A-O A-O do it so right
A-O A-O do it tonight . . .
We're on the verge of . . .
Shake it, imitate it, but it still sounds old
We just can't understand why the man calls it lo-fi
So get your bags packed now and I'll meet you on the outside
To hijack the past and wind up in right now
Grab some clothes, three chords and a video camera
Maybe a mic, some handiwipes, a typewriter, and a hammer
Cuz you know when you're around I can't get enough
I'm gonna follow you wait, straight into the late night
Cuz you're so on fire and you already know

I think this song is about an activist rising and how while we have made sch great progress there is still more to do (we're on the verge of all right, but we're still not quite there yet, and we shouldn't settle for A-OK)
