Story Behind The Song

My girlfriend and i are moving into an apartment that we renovating. It led to a lot of questions.

Lyrics

Seems a Herculean task, to finally find the question's asked
only such a heroic feat could bring a strong man to his knees
I called and you answered, I know I should be sure
But there's some pressing questions that I haven't asked before...

What color the walls? What finish the handles? How high the doors? How wide the mantle?
A thousand details to consider, I feel like a real beginner, Let's have some friends over dinner
I love making plans with you, scrubbing each pan with you
We're building a house for two

A cast iron faucet, a porcelain sink, let's add a closet! what do you think?
A window seat could be good, new garden view, new neighborhood
Would you look what a few plants can do! This is the best, we're building a nest
We're building a house for two

It's on a great block with it's own parking spot, on sunny days, there'll be plenty of shade
In the wintertime, we'll gather round the fire and we'll be singing, now we're just beginning

We're pitching the roof, we're laying down roots,
We're building a house for two

We're moving in soon, wishes do come true,
We're building a house for two
