THE ARCHITECT KACEY MUSGRAVES | SONG LYRICS VERSION

Even something 

as small as an apple

It's simple and 

somehow complex

Sweet and divine, 

the perfect design

Can I speak to the architect?

And there's a canyon 

that cuts through the desert

Did it get there 

because of a flood?

Was it devised, 

or were you surprised

When you saw how grand it was?

Was it thought out at all, 

or just paint on a wall?

Is there anything 

that you regret?

I don't understand, 

are there blueprints or plans?

Can I speak to the architect?

Sometimes I look in the mirror

And wish I could make a request

Could I pray it away? 

Am I shapeable clay

Or is this as good as it gets?

One day, you're on top 

of the mountain

So high that you'll 

never come down

Then the wind at your back 

carries ember and ash

Then it burns your 

whole house to the ground

Is it thought out at all, 

or just paint on a wall?

Is there anything 

that you regret?

I don't understand, 

are there blueprints or plans?

Can I speak to the architect?

I thought that I was too broken

And maybe too hard to love

I was in a weird place, 

then I saw the right face

And the stars and 

the planets lined up

Does it happen by chance? 

Is it all happenstance?

Do we have any say 

in this mess?

Is too late to make 

some more space?

Can I speak to the architect?

This life that we make, 

is it random or fate?

Can I speak to the architect?

Is there an architect?
