about

An apology, a forgiveness.

Recorded and produced by Theresa Peterson at Above the Meridian Studios in Missoula, Montana.

lyrics

Don't need to eat
If I keep drinking coffee
That's what I sometimes do
If you don't say don't you know what I'll do

I do some dumb things
No one's here to stop me
It's hard to keep track on my own
I'm making the rules as I go

What do you make
Of a perfectly good mistake
But try to make less as you go
You can only know what you know

I know I hurt you
My wounds they bled through
I'm sorry for the mess that it made
I promise you I left it on that big interstate

But I forgive me if I was out of line
That's just the state I was in at the time
You can't judge the whole thing
Based on just one part
That's just the state I was in
Not the state of my heart

Please forgive me if I was out of line
That's just the state I was in at the time
You can't judge the whole thing
Based on just one part
That's just the state I was in
Not the state of my heart
