MY SWEET TIME

from Sequence by Rice Cracker Project

/

about

A slow song written by Stephen Prescott, brought in for the Rice Cracker Project to tackle and record. All 3 members consider this one of the best songs on the album.

lyrics

THERE ARE TIMES IN MY LIFE WHEN I BREAK DOWN AND CRY.
I’M NOT ALWAYS SURE WHY, I JUST DO.
I JUST OPEN THE GATES AND LET IT FLOOD OUT IN WAVES,
AND THEN I WASH OFF MY FACE WHEN I’M THROUGH.

WHEN I’M OUT ON A LIMB, AND I’VE BEEN CHASING MY WHIMS,
AND THEM OLE FEARS BEGIN TO TAKE HOLD,
I JUST DRAW A DEEP BREATH AND BACK AWAY FROM THE EDGE,
AND DO A SLIGHT COURSE CORRECT FOR MY SOUL.

THEN I’M GONNA TAKE MY SWEET TIME
CAUSE IT’S MY TIME TO TAKE.

THERE ARE PEOPLE I KNOW WHO CAN JUST LET THEMSELVES GO,
AND THEIR LIVES SEEM TO FLOW SMOOTH AS GLASS.
BUT I’VE NEVER BEEN ONE WHO CAN JUST LIE IN THE SUN.
FEELS LIKE I’M UNDER THE GUN WITH EACH PASS.

THEN I’M GONNA TAKE MY SWEET TIME
CAUSE IT’S MY TIME TO TAKE.
YEA, I’M GONNA TAKE MY SWEET TIME,
LEAVE MY TROUBLES BEHIND.
TAKE A LOAD OFF MY MIND,
IN THE MOMENTS I FIND, YEA.

THERE ARE MOMENTS I HAVE WHEN I COULD SURE USE A LAUGH,
BUT THAT INNER DARK HALF KEEPS ME DOWN.
SO I JUST CLOSE MY EYES AND LOOK DEEP DOWN INSIDE
FOR THAT LITTLE OLD SMILE TO BRING ME ROUND, ROUND, ROUND, ROUND.

THEN I’M GONNA TAKE MY SWEET TIME
CAUSE IT’S MY TIME TO TAKE.
YEA, I’M GONNA TAKE MY SWEET TIME,
LEAVE MY TROUBLES BEHIND.
AND IN THE MOMENTS I FIND,
TAKE A LOAD OFF MY MIND.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
