When Relient K was formed, the members were still in high school in Canton, Ohio.

This song seems to be a recognition of the band's geographical roots, with references to the local cities, bodies of water, and their beloved Cleveland Browns.

I also can feel a recognition of the band's emotional roots too. Leaving high school and facing the world is a big step in everybody's life. I can't imagine trying to make it as a musician during all of that. I'm glad they believed in themselves.
