In My Own Time Lyrics by Joel Porter

A Costly Collection

0

[Verse 1]
I face a stranger in the mirror
I don’t feel safe inside or at home in my skin
I hand you scissors to cut my hair
And see who’s underneath it all
[Verse 2]
So please be patient with me lover
Standing on your chest I’m why your breath is thin
I feel you searching
For the words to pull me from this spin
[Pre Chorus]
So give it up, my little dove
You don’t have to measure up
Give it up, my rosebud
You can play your natural part
[Chorus]
I need to get there in my own time
Need to get there in my own time
I need to get there in my own time
[Bridge]
So troubled by the state I’m in
I count to ten and jettison the plot
A nightmare where I’m slower than
The monsters right behind me from the start
So burdened by Comparison (So give it up, my little dove)
My larynx sealed, I never measure up (You don’t have to measure up)
A daydream where I die to live
With eagerness to play a natural part
[Chorus]
I Need to get there in my own time
