I Want a House

This song describes my dating philosophy fairly succinctly:

Lyric	Philosophy
"I want a house"	I want something lasting/permanent
"Built of old wood"	Solid/100% real construction materials required (e.g. honesty, respect, ability to communicate)
"You can paint it any color you like"	Superficial details don’t matter that much to me (e.g. height, skin color, favorite foods)
"Just so long as I can live with you"	“The one” is the person for whom my soul yearns because we are uniquely compatible (i.e. are good for, to and with each other)
