  General Comment:heyitstrudon, "I am an architect of days that haven't happened yet" That means he is a person that builds their future be it good or bad. We all are architects of our lives many people go day to day with life and don't even realize that we create the things we want or don't want in our lives.

    I think it is the dreams/plans for what he is searching for in his life. Powerful lines.

    In his mind, he plans his future out .. like an architect building a blueprint for a housing development or something .. he's basically saying he is the master of his future

  General Comment:Its a sweet song .. he's found someone he really likes and he thinks he can see a future with her. She seems to always see him in the best light and he's amazed that someone can see him that way.
  
  Its like maybe with baby steps .. something could really happen

  General Comment:I also think this is him kind of telling his story to his wife/girlfriend about how she saw the good in him and how they have a house but she is his actual home and with her he feels safe.

  General Comment:I absolutely love this song. It is probably tied with "Born and Raised" for favorite of the album. I feel like this song is sort of a prophecy. One of the parts that just knocked me back is the line, "I am an architect of days that haven't happened yet." I live that lyric, and the whole song sounds like a really well-written diary entry that serves as a message to the person he is gonna spend the rest of his life with. This song is super sweet, and I love that side of John Mayer, being a card-carrying, hopelessly romantic girl, haha.

  General Comment:This might be one of my favorite songs on the new album. Born & Raised is about John growing into adulthood and this song is about finding that someone who he can finally settle down with and start a life/home with instead of running away.
  
  "You know my paper heart, the one I fill with pencil marks, I think I might have gone and inked you in"
  After all of the women he has been with, he is telling her that she is the last one to forever be in his heart.
  
  "It's so good you didn't see the nervous wreck I used to be..... You never look at me like I'm a liability, I bet you'd think I've never been at all"
  She is overlooking his past ways and into the future of their relationship. She doesn't hold what he did against him. He is admitting that yes he has made mistakes but she looks past them and doesn't judge him for them.
