Intro 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 Verso 1: 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 Verso 2: 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 Outro
