Holding Onto the Edge
© 1985 The Task   Words / Music: Minton

I'm walkin' a fine line, don't know what to do
Feels like I'm losin' my balance, and fallin' in love with you
I don't know if I ought to, it could be a mistake—
Whoops, there goes my foothold, I guess this is a chance I'll have to take
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, na na nana nahhh

So I'm holding onto the edge
Fight to keep from fallin'
But with every move you wedge yourself a little deeper
Deeper inside my heart

Please don't step on my heartstrings or push me off my ledge
Y'see I don't know how you work things, that's why I've still got a grip on the edge
But your affection's makin' me crazy, the way you run right over my heart
Oh no my vision's gettin' hazy, can't see straight I think my fall is gonna start
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, na na nana nahhh

So I'm holding onto the edge
Fight to keep from fallin'
But with every move you wedge yourself a little deeper
Deeper inside my heart

(solo)

So I'm holding onto the edge
Fight to keep from fallin'
But with every move you wedge yourself a little deeper
Deeper inside my heart
Holding onto the edge... (repeats)
