Cover art for In State lyrics by Kathleen Edwards

'absolutely' huh? pretty definite and objective for something that's purely subjective... Anyway, I think the Link "My face couldn't make you leave it behind." is the most telling one. She's involved with someone who's into crime of some sort, and she wishes he'd give it up for her, but he won't, so she's jealous and threatening him with going to the cops. Also meshes with the statement about this being a prequel to the the other song...
