On My Own Time (Write On!)

(album: As Cruel As School Children - 2006)

[verse 1]
I wish I could unzip my skin and take it off
Just to take a walk but I can't do it
I don't think I'll make it on my own (on my own)
As when I take out my pen
and I wage it all, turn the page and fall
It just comes natural
I'm gonna make it on my own (on my own)

[chorus]
I just need time to walk it off,
but I can't do it
I'll write it on my own time
Hey look I made it on my own (on my own)
I know she thinks that I don't try, but I realize that I can do better
Write, write on [4x]
Making a mess as I progress
No time to cry about it, do better
Write, write on [2x]

[verse 2]
I wrote the greatest lines at the strangest times
Now it's paying off, but I still feel lost
Cuz I can't do it
I don't think I'll make it on my own (on my own)
So in between now it pacifies
I change my name to free, but she feels safe to me
So I'm living dangerously
I'm gonna make it on my own (on my own)

[chorus]
I just need time to walk it off,
but I can't do it
I'll write it on my own time
Hey look I made it on my own (on my own)
I know she thinks...
But I realize that I can do better
Write, write on [4x]
Making a mess as I progress
No time to cry about it, do better
Write, write on [4x]

[outro]
Write on, write it on your own time (write, write on)
Write on, write it on your own time (write, write on)...
