I think the meaning of this song is pretty apparent. Sounds to me that his wife is wanting him to retire, and wants them to move somewhere else and settle down and just be a normal family. But he's not ready to do that just yet, but he doesn't want her to leave him or make any major decisions without him. That's my interpretation of it anyway. Pretty point blank.

"Find a job, find a friend
Find a home, find a dog
Settle down, out of town
Find a dream, shut it down"
And only secondarily, if the other person cannot make the same leap to leave the familiar, only then leave her (or him) as well.

Lol, now that I know all the lyrics, I have no idea what the song's about honestly.
