Verse 1 I stood up fast with purpose Like I knew just what to do Made it halfway to the kitchen Then forgot the reason too Was it coffee, was it glasses Was it pain in my left knee I gotta get there quick Before it disappears from me Chorus I gotta get there quick Before the thought runs away It was crystal clear a second ago Now it’s gone astray I’m moving with conviction But I’m missing the clue I gotta get there quick Before I forget what I’m trying to do Verse 2 I’m looking for my phone now While I’m talking on the phone Saying “Hold on just a minute” To myself and me alone Found the milk inside the cabinet Keys are where the forks should be I gotta get there quick Before my brain hides things from me Chorus I gotta get there quick Before the thought runs away It waved at me politely Then it vanished mid-day I’m confident and clueless Like I’ve always been true I gotta get there quick Before I forget what I’m trying to do Verse 3 I wrote myself a reminder But I can’t read what I wrote It just says “Don’t forget” With a question mark note I walked into the bedroom Now I’m standing by the door I gotta get there quick But I don’t know where anymore Bridge They say wisdom comes with age So I must be doing fine I just can’t find where I put it Give me half a little time Final Chorus I gotta get there quick Before the moment is gone I had a plan, I had a purpose I was sure it was strong If you see me rushing past you Looking focused but confused I gotta get there quick Before I forget what I’m trying to do
