One of the many references to California made in the song, and a riff on the fact that the state is a major motif throughout the Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ work. The vocal melody here is identical to the one used on Soul to Squeeze.

Sexual tension is akin to the Diet Coke + Mentos experiment. That is, if you don’t give into your desires, you’ll eventually explode (in more ways than one)

Since the song is about distance as a result of Tegan and Sara’s rigorous touring schedule, the “extra night” is probably referring to an off-night, or a night on a tour during which a band has no scheduled show and the members are free to do as they please.

#She’s hot and she knows it!
