Lyrics

04 - Concentrate
VERSE 1
Sometimes I think I might be doing ok
Then instantly that feeling goes away
Forgotten everything except my name
It’s useless all the same
I think I have the attention span
the flight time of a boomerang
The same duration as a minute man
It's useless all the same
CHORUS 1
Oh I wonder what I've got to do
To be on top of it like you
And I don't want to be like this forever
So I'd better get my shit together
Oh maybe it's just too late
Maybe I could train my brain to concentrate?
VERSE 2
About as fresh as yesterday’s news
About as comfortable as high-heeled shoes
About as colourful as faded tattoos
I’m useless all the same
‘Bout as convenient as a late valet
about as lively as a dead bouquet
about as legal as a stowaway
It's useless all the same
CHORUS 2
Oh I wonder what I've got to do
To be on top of it like you
And I don't want to be like this forever
So I'd better get my shit together
Oh I wonder do I still have time
To give myself a redesign
Or maybe it's just too late
Maybe I could train my brain to concentrate?
BRIDGE
Well I got no sense of direction
Don't take care of my possessions
leave a mess everywhere I go
I think it's a good idea to just steer clear of me
like you would with yellow snow
Leave everything to the last minute
and it really puts me in it
make a race to the finish line
and I don't pay enough attention
So misapprehension, she's a very close friend of mine
VERSE 3
About as quiet as an instrument
About as distant as the intimate
About as guilty as the innocent
It's useless all the same
CHORUS 3
Oh I wonder what I've got to do
To be on top of it like you
And I don't want to be like this forever
So I'd better get my shit together
So I wonder what I've got to do
To be on top of it like you
And I don't want to be like this forever
Oh I'd better get my shit together
So I wonder do I still have time
To give myself a redesign
Or maybe it's just too late
Maybe I could train my brain to concentrate?
