My Own Sweet Time Lyrics

Hello, goodbye my friend
Feels like the start all over again
But I'd rather not pretend
There aren't things still left to mend
Somebody break my fall
I'm slipping down all over again

I'm doing it all over
Taking my own sweet time
I may make it slower
But I'm taking my own sweet time
I'm taking my own sweet...

Tell me where I begin
You can't deny what's already been
I won't break but I can bend
Shaping the scars that I can't mend
Feel your fingers around my throat
There's nothing but bones beneath my skin
Somebody break my fall
I'm slipping down all over again

I'm doing it all over
Taking my own sweet time
I may make it slower
But I'm taking my own sweet time
I'm taking my own sweet...

I'm doing it all over, my friend
You know I'd do it all over again

Hello, goodbye my friend
Until we start all over again
Somebody break my fall
I'm slipping down all over again

I'm doing it all over
Taking my own sweet time
I may make it slower
But I'm taking my own sweet time
I'm taking my own sweet time

Hello, goodbye my friend
Feels like the start all over again
But I'd rather not pretend
There aren't things still left to mend
Somebody break my fall
I'm slipping down all over again

I'm doing it all over
Taking my own sweet time
I may make it slower
But I'm taking my own sweet time
I'm taking my own sweet...

I'm doing it all over, my friend
You know I'd do it all over again

Hello, goodbye my friend
Until we start all over again
Somebody break my fall
I'm slipping down all over again

I'm doing it all over
Taking my own sweet time
I may make it slower
But I'm taking my own sweet time
I'm taking my own sweet time

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this song is unreleased...although, like most of hanson's unreleased music, it's been leaked on line.

reading the lyrics shows you it's an incredible song, but to HEAR it is a whole other story...i honestly feel that this is hanson's best song to date. the lyrics are beautifully done, taylor's singing is powerful, and the music itself is well put together. not a flaw in the song, although i have the feeling the only version of the song that is out is the demo...oh, what they could do if they made a studio version!
