It Only Takes a Moment - Jeffrey Lewis

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
