Actually he has spent some time in Chicago. He went to college close to the city and him and his friends would go to the city when they had the time to. He's also driven through parts of the state, and he visited Metropolis after the album was written. And to stupid name, I drove from Chicago through my town of Normal and then to St. Louis all before noon, and this whole album made me love this state so much more. I was happy the whole time I was in state and sad to cross the border. |

I've lived in Illinois my whole life. Born in Peoria, grew up in Normal, going to school in Champaign, family and friends in Decatur, . I always thought that all the other states had it was better than us, we just had corn and Chicago. I'm proud of it now. I love Illinois and where I'm from and what we have here. This song sort of sums it up, somehow. |

It seems like the person in this girl's life is going to move away and leave, and she's pleading with him to stay. If she isn't successful then she doesn't want others to know her attempt has been in vain. She's part of the reason that he's leaving, and so she feels responsible for it and that's part of the reason for her changing how she lives. The singer knows the situation and is wishing the best and that's where it's told from. |
