Decemberists, The - Here I Dreamt I Was An Architect Lyrics
And here I dreamt I was a soldier
And I marched the streets of Burkenau
And I recall in spring
The perfume that the air would bring
To the indolent town
The carnival was ringing loudly now
And just to lay with you
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
Save lay my rifle down
And try one, and try two
Guess it always comes down to
Alright, it's okay, guess it's better to turn this way
And I am nothing of a builder
And I built this balustrade
To keep you home, to keep you safe
From the outside world
But the angles and the corners
Even though my work is unparalleled
They never seemed to meet
This structure fell about our feet
And we were free to go
And try one, and try two
Guess it always comes down to
Alright, okay, guess it's better to turn this way
And here in Spain I am a Spaniard
I will be buried with my marionettes
Countess and courtesan
Have fallen 'neath my tender hand
When their husbands were not around
But you, my soiled teenage girlfriend
While you furrow like a lioness
And we are vagabonds
We travel without seat belts on
We live this close to death
And try one, and try two
Guess it always comes down to
Alright, it's okay, guess it's better to turn this
But I won, so you lose
Guess it always comes down to
Alright, it's okay, guess it's better to turn this way

This reminds me of my iriver MP3 player I received as a graduation gift back in 2006...this song came in free with a couple more..memories
Dear sir, I admire your perfect state of not owning anything. While most of us human beings own at least several material possessions, you attained a perfect state of not owning absolutely anything. Bless you!
HIMYM❤️ Ted Mosby: architect 4.1.20
Robin took a long walk that night. She thought about how opening yourself up to another person usually means openinh yourself up to going a little crazy. She thought about how much easier it was just to be alone.
I'm feeling you Robin. ❤
Architecture students are like virgins
with an itch they cannot scratch,
Never build a building till you're 50
what kind of life is that?
Barney’s best play:
Ted Mosby,architect
The Robin
Is Architect so important in USA or i dont know UK ? Are they winning so much money ?
Kids, did I tell you how I found this beautiful song?
Yesterday, I won the architecture school in Turkey. And my idol was Ted Mosby. HIMYM changed my life. :)

Spotify recommended this song for me at the beginning of 2019. The result? It's by far the most listened song in a year of my life, it speaks to me in many inexplicable levels
Thank the actors for being so important for all of us
Ted Mosby, Architect.
Eu queria efetivamente entender a razão dessa música mexer tanto comigo.
Seeing all the people here from a show i don't know makes me realice what non-jojo fans must feel when they try to listen to music
Ted Mosby, Architect
HIMYM dan gelenler
Dear Resident, The time we spent together, however long it was, meant the world to me. I would love to see you again but unfortunately I cannot. You see, I am a ghost. I can only materialize once every decade, on the anniversary of my death. I chose to spend my one day among the living with you, sweet resident. Perhaps we will meet again, in another decade--provided you keep your figure. Until then, all my love from the beyond, Barney.
Mosby 😎
2019 HIMYM FOREVER <3
umm how i met your mother brought me here
YO I FOUND IT!!!!! I GOT AN MP3 PLAYER LIKE 13 YEARS AGO AND THIS SONG WAS ON THE MP3! couldn’t remember the name. Fucken love this song
I remember hearing this on my alt rock station in the 90s. Himym is the best show since Seinfeld. The story and characters are so well defined. I really like the voice of reason in this episode, Lily. He's upset because you didn't listen to him.
Seinfeld..the office..himym!
Also curb your enthusiasm lol
It inspired me to be an architect .
300th comment aye
Jet mosley, architect.
Haha Ted Mosby, architect. Winks! :D
Ted Mosby, architect <3
Ted architect,mosby
sadık oxan the economist
mahfi eğilir
I was cosy at my grandma’s house, watching himym and this song came up. That lovely summer night, all alone in the room with my bright laptop light on my face, a ridiculous tear all of sudden.
Here i am, on the other side of Youtube with Ted
En qué capítulo sale?
Ted Mosby *winks* Architect
Sarah Lynn?
It's frustrating that every comment on this video is about Ted Mosby instead of the song itself or its meaning
Keylee Dillon ok boomer
Ted Mosby *clicks tongue*, Architect
What a terrible lyrics videos, they appear on the sreen after they've been sung.
Just watched season 2, EP 4
What an episode I have to say!

Rest in peace Sarah Lynne

Best song without doubt!
Ted Mosby, the Architect ?

hit like, if you think robin was a bitch!!
Hi, haaaaaave you met Ted?
This song flows flawlessly. Soooo smooth.
I don't remember where I heard this song... I just woke up with it stuck in my head, so I looked it up.
Only found How I Met Your Mother last year. I have watched the entire series 3 times, on my fourth run.
who else came here not because of some gay ass show but because they like the band and the song.
I am an architect
so pretentious.
mosby boys :D
hahahhahhah i found you Ted
Ted Mosby Architect.always work
Ted Mosby Architect 😉👉
It sounds like Year of the Cat
Just listen to the two songs, they sound similar, to me at least. Especially in the beginning of each
How I met your mother
HIMYM!!!!! TED MOSBY, ARCHITECT!
I can't believe it's over
Me das tanto y créeme que lo digo sin contar lo material, puedes cometer algún error nadie va a olvidar todo lo que haces por mí, si es que soy repetitivo, pero es que eres Genial. Te lo aseguro, eres de esa escasa minoría de gente extraordinaria, si alguien está destinada a algo grande esa eres tú, no te hundas con cada fallo, forman parte del juego y conmigo vas a poder jugar siempre que tú quieras. No lo mires pensando en lo de hoy, pero es que a veces se te olvida lo brillante que eres y bueeno, nunca es un mal momento para recordártelo. Te quiero
MinitoteX Muchísimas gracias amor, es que.. Dios, te quiero tanto.
Además me haces tan feliz y eres capaz de hacerme ver lo bueno en mi (y mira que es complicado)💚💀
This was one of the most beautiful songs I heard back in college in 2002, and it still holds true even today. There’s so much to love about this track by The Decemberists, especially the lyrics and keyboards during the verses and the bridge. #punkflop #TrackDrops #TheDecemberists https://trackdrops.com/2016/11/19/here-i-dreamt-i-was-an-architect-the-decemberists/
am I the only one that came here from Spotify and not that stupid show wtf
Barney Stinson, Please
came here from watching himym but damn this song is so good
robin said that she turned ted into a cheater that episode, does she not remember that he cheated on Victoria with her?
Good catch!
When it was totally her idea, don't forget. She called him over knowing full well he had a girlfriend. Yet she had the nerve to be mad at him. I'll just say it, guys, robin is a jerk
@Caitlin Atkinson god is it possible to agree with u more
Ted mosby brought everyone here I'm sure
main singer from green day
Out of all the fonts in the entire world, your dumb ass used papyrus...
What really matters is that you can read it so the background color and the fonts color are not the same. Cuz i hate when the font just blends in with the background
Where can i find this beautiful picture?
Came here because of ''How I Met Your Mother'', stayed because of the song/band.
Omg HIMYM is so good I don't even know how to explain it
Omg you re a idiot
Mustafa Kemal Alemdar an*
omg you make too many comments in one video
Ted Mosby, architect
lool 😍😍👌

He doesn't own anything. Poor guy.
it took me a second to realise what you meant but when i realised i almost died
I choked laughing xD
I don't get it :(
been a fan of Colin Meloy's songwriting since his Tarkio days. most you so called Decemberists fans dont even know about that son
only like 3 people here are fans the rest of us are fans of himym
It doesn't matter how you got here, as long as you made it.
