this song is about how he misses someone who left Arizona (where Nate is from) to go to California. He wants to follow her. She is "somewhere in the sand" (the beach) "dancing with the stars" (Hollywood), he "wants to be an ocean" (the pacific) so he can see her again. New Mexico is his moat that he can't seem to cross (yeah, it's not DIRECTLY between AZ and CA, but it's poetic license). "The golden state wins again" (California). Finally, he considers leaving and says "it's blue at least that's a plus" (California is a Democratic State, Arizona is Republican, 'red').
