the lyrics are definitely "the state is blue, at least that's a plus." Nate is from Arizona which is a lot more conservative than California. he's trying to come up with reasons to go to California, other than the fact that he misses her, and that's one of the reasons he wants to leave. plus, all of his references to not being a religious person make me think he's also pretty liberal.
"Maybe it's time I put a profile up of who I want to be
Fool everyone, just to start over clean
I can hide behind a big blue screen"
i think this is another reference to online dating, like the one in Dog Problems. since he couldn't change himself for this girl, he thinks maybe it will be easier to adopt a new persona if he does it online.
