la dispute - ten

and i promised you i'd come visit soon.
guess i should've made the trip, but
money's tight as rope and time too. and
you know how it goes better than anyone.
there isn't ever much of anything we need or
think we do.
so i don't feel bad.
i don't feel bad.

and somewhere you cut me out.
fall in love to rinse your mouth,
but it doesn't bother me at all.
