I'm fascinated by how she quotes herself from songs earlier in the album -- like "Of how easy I was not" referring back to "Easy," the "bales" and "burn" pointing back to "No Provenance," and the La-la's at the end quoting the melody from "In California." This feels like a fitting way to end the album, with her stating why she's closing the door on this relationship, even as she regrets it in many ways.
And I can't help hearing the "In California" La-la's at the end as a reminder, with all the caveats present in that song ("But when you come and see me, in California, you cross the border of my heart."), about where she can be found if he ever changes his mind.
