On My Own Time (Write On!) Lyrics

[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)

[Hook]
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, Write, write on, Write, write on, Write, write on
Makin’ a mess as I progress
No time to cry about it, do better
Write, write on, Write, write on


[Verse 2]
I wrote the greatest lines at the strangest times
Now it's payin’ 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 livin’ dangerously
I’m gonna make it on my own (on my own)
[Hook]
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, Write, write on, Write, write on, Write, write on
Makin’ a mess as I progress
No time to cry about it, do better
Write, write on, Write, write on


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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
