From interview with David Bazon on cloakanddaggermedia.com: "It really works better with Nevada and Arizona because they’re kind of spooning in a weird way, but I think writing a song about Nevada and California struck me as being more interesting. The first words came out during a free-write. It was, “Arizona curled up with California.” And from there I pictured these landmasses in this love triangle. The state of California definitely has a demeanor. I think the state of New Mexico does too. I imagined what their personalities would be like if they were people. However, as I was writing, they never turned into people in my mind. They remained huge landmasses that were fighting and heartbroken and in love.
The end was just a restatement of the story in some ways. Assigning each of them their appropriate rock, paper, or scissors. I think some people find that a bit random, but it’s always made sense to me."
