i think josh says this best himself. i saw him do this live, and this is what he said about the song:
"i wrote this song before i started touring for a living, and i was from idaho, and delaware and rhode island were like totally exotic places. the island, you know, is a total ripoff when you show up. they don't have any palm trees in and any of the dew. you've seen palm trees in like minnesota. they look sad, and they scream quietly. and that's how it is in rhode island too. the are no monkeys; there's nothing there. just a lot of temp work. so, this is for the romance or the east coast and..."
also, he randomly lost his place in the middle of the song and started talking about pathos.
