It only takes a moment to collect my thoughts
It only takes a moment to move on
It only takes a moment to collect my thoughts
It only takes a moment to move on
My brain is like a puppy and it doesn't know better,
It gets in trouble if it gets away
I gotta be more tough I gotta grab it by the scruff,
I gotta sternly teach it better ways
I'm getting into trouble when I don't keep watch,
My brain is like a pup that makes a mess
If I see it heading where I don't want it shedding
I've learned to let it roam a little less
I've learned that bad things happen if I don't pay attention
If I turn around and suddenly it's gone
It only takes a moment to collect my thoughts
It only takes a moment to move on
It only takes a moment
It only takes a moment
Intro
My mind is like a floppy new arrival from the pound
How can I blame it, it's too dumb to know
I can't expect it to respond when I'm the one who let it wander
So it's up to me to train it where to go
Goes off into a darkened corner it will surely stumble,
or into where unstable things are stacked
I'm the one who's left with all the wreckage and the cleanups
I'm the one who has to teach it how to act
No don't go there get over here I tell it
Come back here and treat me with respect
It only takes a moment to collect my thoughts
It only takes a moment to move on
It only takes a moment
It only takes a moment
