Your shoulder blade, your spine
Were shorelines in the moon light
New worlds for the weary
New lands for the living
This isn't only great alliteration but it reminds me a lot of the idea of bad actress, where her body comprises the entirety of the world (oceans and continents), but whereas the metaphorical voyage in bad actress is doomed to fail, this one seems genuine. These songs really seem incredibly similar, especially in the idea of a confused, drifting dream.
Though her eyes are big as Canada
And the hips are South Australia
And the shoulder blade is Africa
Looking out on South America
Im out here on the sea
And her heart aint where it oughta be...
Now my apartment lies awake at night
It tosses every time she sighs
I hesitate to assume that the narrator in both songs is the same, or that either of these can be ascribed to Ritter's own life/thoughts, but the successful love (destination?) in change of time might reflect the fact that he's now in love and married, not still searching.
