Cover art for Eastern Homes and Western Hearts lyrics by A Day at the Fair

I think this is a guy who is torn between two problems...going to Caifornia in search of a bigger life or having a life with his lover. As much he wants to stay and make a life at home with his lover, he also wants to explore his passion to live in California. Therefore the following line is the line that defines the whole song. "My western home (California), my eastern heart (Lover), the middle is my home".
