I totally agree with your theory that Ben is talking about California when he mentions 'belly of the beast'. I think it was a very clever way for Ben to connect his old songs to his new. Suddenly this place he though was terrible has become amazing because he's with the person he loves. |

I think the line "like a child throwing stones at the sky when they fall back to earth" refers to how these children throw stones to express their anger and frustration, only to have the stones fall back down and hit them. This is much like the girl, because even though she is trying to feel relieved by screaming her frustrations, in the end she's only hurting herself. |

I think this song is about how both Amanda and the guy she was with often travel and have been with people from all over the world "seven stops in seven different countries" without considering the people in the place they live in "we're keeping track so carefully we've missed the state we're in completely
". I'm guessing that this guy has a problem with commitment and never stays in one place too long. Amanda tries to convince him to maybe settle down "or maybe we'll make up and buy a house and have a couple kids and labrador and microwave but anyway" but in the end he moves on "I know that in the morning I will lose you". |
