State Lines

State Lines is the anthem to my early twenties, and all the confusion, pain, and bliss that accompany it. Having grown up and stayed in Los Angeles for college, I had never experienced geographic change that I’d always yearned for. While living here is a complete blessing, I found myself dreaming about a life beyond what I know. State Lines discusses this need for change, while recognizing the beauty of the life and love I’d be leaving behind.

It also questions the lengths somebody would go to love me, would they “follow me across state lines”, in both a metaphorical and literal sense, to keep me in their life? I find empowerment in the subtle confidence and honesty of this song.
