with so many other AC songs spewing absurd groupings of words, this is one that actually comes off blunt and direct in every way. With the group now growing and starting families, this tune is a reflection on domesticated lifestyle that's to come, and the minimal requirements they aspire to have: contentment with self, wife and children that live well and happy, and a place to rest bones at the end of the day. nothing extravagant or sublime, just the standard house-that-can-be-called-a-home type of deal. Adobe is one of the more basic substances used to build houses and has been around for thousands of years, so it seems like what's going on inside the house is more important thn its actual appearance.
the one line of note I find interesting is that they refer to their social status as a "material thing." maybe that classification goes beyond the average definition of material, as if social status is a reflection of the material things they may have, and therefore is of no importance. either way, a gem of many sorts and one of the stronger numbers on Merriweather.
