Verge of Tears

Verge of Tears
by Nobody, et al.

Go on, go
I can't make it any further
Though the foe
Is coming close behind

Give me a gun and and three grenades
Then hit the road I'll cover your escape
This is my last chance to make them pay

Now we're on the verge of tears
But you have got to leave me here
I'll wait until you all get clear

It's been real
But now I hear the footsteps
For all we feel
There's no time for a goodbye

So don't be stupid, go right now
I'll hold them off, I think we both know how
Just promise me that you'll get out...

We are on the verge of tears
But you have got to leave me here
I'll wait until you all get clear
Before I blow the tunnel
And hopefully you'll get away
And live to fight another day
I'm sad it had to end this way
But that's just how it goes

We can't all be
The hero of the story
Most of us won't live to see the credits roll
So I smile through the pain
My sacrifice will not be in vain
That's what you tell me but I already know.

Oh so slow
I see the shadows rising
This is it
Come on, you bastards, come...

Balance Lost

In the window of a record shop
Check Your Head on display
Something I can barely say

In the shadow of Sultanahmet
And the Sophia Hagia
Something I can barely see

Money on my credit card
Should have been spent on meals
Something I can barely feel

Blew it in Paul's Boutique
Haven't tuned in for years
Someone on the verge of tears

Grew up in a Brooklyn street
Started back in '86
Fighting just to get your kicks

In a trio where you brought the bass
From '88 to '93
Fighting to be taken seriously

Everybody wanted to be
Like you, staying up all night
Party for your right to fight

4th of May, I remember well
Got so much left to give
Fighting for your right to live

Check Your Head on display
Something I can barely say
Haven't tuned in for years
Someone on the verge of tears
In the Sophia Hagia
Something I can barely see
Haven't tuned in for years
Someone on the verge of tears

VERGE OF TEARS
(DJ Ranger Den)

don't look away
don't look back to where you came from
and don't say you'll stay with me

don't make excuses this way
nothing decays like the smell of a lie in the face

on the verge of tears
the year will blur into a sea of wasted words
you learn that your worth is the proportional inverse of lines which are so well rehearsed
Your mind spins at the memories of trust
washed out like the tide
...that time you won't talk about now

-so make all your plans for tomorrow
but you don't know where I'll go

on the verge ....
I want to fall through into you and to time
On the verge of tears

This house seems so big
when you're gone I get
lost inside of it by myself
and I think of you
wish to be with you
find myself on the verge of tears

Dm Am Bb Gm x2
F F C C

I can't sleep really
when you're not near me
I lie awake

This bed seems so small
in this empty hall
I hear echoes that say your name
In the dark I can
see you face and then
find myself on the verge of tears

Break: C C7 Am F

Br: Bb Gm Dm C

We should be together every day

This house feels so large
not a home at all
just a structure without a heart
you're so far away
please come back to me
bring me back from the verge of tears

[chocolatechips]

When I see you walking out our door
Feel old fears, I won't see you anymore
And I'm on the verge of tears.

When I hear you talking to that man
Drinking beers and you're making other plans
I'm on the verge of tears.

Without you with me, I just can't see
How I can go on?

Without you right here, it's just not clear
Why I should go on?

When I feel you letting go too soon
Days are years and I'm lonely as the moon
I'm on the verge of tears.

Verge of tears- glennny
lyrics by Glen Phillips & Ken Mahru

Verse1

You get in the zone when you're feeling alone
And your rationale leaves you to face the unknown
Your intellect defects and your reason subsides
Your heart is not smart and you're in for a ride

Always aware of the way it must look
But incredibly prone to breakdown by the book
Dwelling upon all the takes you mistook
You're reeling and feeling all the shakes that you shook

Chorus1

This touched upon your deepest fears
And brought you to the verge of tears
It's a niggling wiggling worm right between your ears
And brings you to the verge of tears


Verse2

You reap what you sow when you're cut to the bone
and the bleeding will heal you once you're alone
The thoughts that you hide will eat your insides
The face in its place from a Jekyll to Hyde


Constant pressure to get off the hook
But quietly hoping you'll be labeled a crook
Memorized verses from ancient prayer books
You're mumbling and fumbling their gobbledegook

Chorus 2

This touched upon your deepest fears
And brought you to the verge of tears
It's a niggling wiggling worm right between your ears
And brings you to the verge of tears

Bridge

What will you do
If it ever comes true?

You’re on the (verge of tears)

Chorus 3

This touched upon your deepest fears
And brought you to the verge of tears
This inertia is a bear to steer
And brings you to the verge of tears
This touched upon your deepest fears
And brought you to the verge of tears
