[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
We're on the verge of
We're on the verge of
We're on the verge of
We're on the verge of
All right!
[Verse 2]
When you're shipwrecked on your mattress I'll come in and show you how
To hijack the past and wind up in the right now
Grab some clothes, three chords, and a video camera
Maybe a mic, some hand-wipes, a typewriter, and a hammer
"X"-out all self-supervision, get your keys out, now start the ignition
[Chorus]
We're on the verge of
We're on the verge of
We're on the verge of
We're on the verge of
All right!
[Verse 3]
Why don't you come over now? I'll buzz you up
'Cause you know when you're around I can't get enough
I'm gonna follow you, wait, straight into the late night
'Cause you're so on fire and you already know
"X"-out all self-supervision, get your keys out, now start the ignition
[Outro]
A-O-A-O do it so right
A-O-A-O do it tonight
A-O-A-O do it so right
A-O-A-O do it tonight
[Chorus]
We're on the verge of
We're on the verge of
We're on the verge of
We're on the verge of
All right!
[Chorus]
We're on the verge of
We're on the verge of
We're on the verge of
We're on the verge of
All right!
