Brain Took a Shortcut

V6

[Intro] One, two—oops There goes the spoon [Verse 1] I put my keys inside the fridge My coffee’s doing tiny flips You said, “Come on, we’re nearly late” I’m waving at the microwave [Pre-Chorus] Tap twice, turn around Lost my train of thought, found it on the ground You say my name, I say, “Which one?” Then the whole room goes— [Chorus] Oops! I did it again—wait, that’s not my line Brain took a shortcut, got here just in time Oops! Little left, little right, little spin If the day’s a puzzle, let the weird piece in [Post-Chorus] Zip-zap, where’d it go? Zip-zap, now we know [Verse 2] The shopping list says “buy a moon” I drew a face beside the soup You’re laughing so hard you drop your phone I save the moment, then forget my own [Pre-Chorus] Tap twice, turn around Lost my train of thought, found it on the ground You say my name, I say, “Which one?” Then the whole room goes— [Chorus] Oops! I did it again—wait, that’s not my line Brain took a shortcut, got here just in time Oops! Little left, little right, little spin If the day’s a puzzle, let the weird piece in [Bridge] No map, no plan, just a pocketful of lint A note that says “remember”—and I can’t remember what it meant You take my hand, we miss the bus We make a game of missing us [Final Chorus] Oops! There I go, but I’m right on time Brain took a shortcut, made a crooked little rhyme Oops! Little left, little right, let it spin If the day’s a puzzle, let the weird piece in [Outro] Zip-zap, where’d it go? Right here—oh, there it goes
