Lyric check to the Get Up Kids' "Action and Action" as well as Kill Creek's own song "Get Off" from St. Valentine's Garage. A lot of Colors of Home seems like a more grown-up reaction to St. Valentine's Garage. Ultimately, I feel it's about changing and wanting more "mature" than what you have (settling down, starting a family). Or at least something different that what you have/have had.
