Jeffrey Lewis & Los Bolts - It Only Takes a Moment lyrics

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 and 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 its 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 my mind is like a floppy new arrivle from the pound how can i blame it its too dumb to know i cant expect it to respond when i'm the one who let it wander so tough for 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 but it only takes a moment to collect my thoughts it only takes a moment reflect it only takes a moment it only takes a moment
