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)

I just need time to walk it off but I can’t do it
I’ll write it on my own time, they think 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)
Making a mess as I progress, no time to cry about it do better…
(write write on, write write on)

I wrote the greatest lines at the strangest times, now it’s paying off
But I still feel lost, cause I can’t do it.
I, don’t think I’ll make it on my own (on my own)
Somewhere between now and pacifiers, I changed my name to Free
Plus she feels safe to me, so I’m living dangerously
I’m gonna make it on my own (on my own)

I just need time to walk it off but I can’t do it
I’ll write it on my own time, they think I made it on my own (on my own)

I know she thinks --- but I realize that I can do better …
(write write on, write write on, write write on, write write on)
Making a mess as I progress, no time to cry about it do better…
(write write on, write write on, write write on, write write on)

(write write on) Write on, Write it on your own time (write write on)
(write write on) Write on, Write it on your own time (write write on)

    General Comment:I don't think its "as when I take out my pen..."

    I think it's "That's when I take out my pen..."

    cause it's kinda like...he's talking about how he wants to escape reality and everything, and that's when he starts to write a song and everything will be ok, cause he knows he can make it on his own.


    I don't know....maybe..? I'm just guessing here. It sounded half decent to me.

    General Comment:i've actually seem GCH play
    and travis actually said
    that this song is about
    trying to write songs
    and that "he'll make it on his time"
    kind of like he'll write songs without the pressure of others.
    i love this song.
