Multitudes

Multitudes

Love, Out Loud | Mixtape
00:00 / 05:55

The words I couldn't keep inside

I wrote this for the man I knew once, the man I somehow missed, and the man I finally got to see.

For every layer. Every contradiction. Every beautiful, complicated piece.

You have multitudes. And I love every one.

Lyrics

[Intro]

At seventeen I wrote down what I wanted
Every quality I thought love should hold
I set the bar as high as I could reach

And Locked it in a drawer

 

Stopped believing he existed

Didn’t search for him anymore

Then one day, there you were

The one I gave up waiting for

 

You don’t understand

What I see when I look at you

But you’re the rarest thing

Every part of you so  true

 

[Verse]

I knew the boy who made me laugh

Who'd say the wrong thing just to see me smile

I knew the wit, knew the grin

I just never knew the man within

 

I saw you only as my funny friend

but something shifted in the light

I saw the man behind the schoolboy laugh

Suddenly, everything felt right

 

[Pre-Chorus]

I love your restless, beautiful mind

Your spaghetti factory working overtime

I love how I can calm your noise

And you can quiet mine

 

I love our endless conversations

How we laugh and lose track of time

Those moments wrapped up in each other

When we leave the world behind

 

[Chorus]

Baby, you're a man with multitudes

And every one undoes me

 

The playful and the deep

The funny and the tender

The brilliant and the bruised

The wicked and the wanting

 

You're my rarity, my king

You’re my everything

[Verse]

You notice what I haven't said

I've never felt so known

You get the feelings I cannot name

My face has never learned to lie to you

 

You work so hard, always giving all you’ve got

You build, you fix, you carry

Damn i respect you hard

I'm so proud I get to do life with you

 

And somehow you still look at me

Like I'm more than you deserve

How I wish that you could see 

Your spectacular self through me

 

[Pre-Chorus]

You call me your queen and I feel it

Not in jewels, but in the way

You listen like my every word

Has somewhere safe to stay

 

No woman ever wanted you like this

A hundred waiting firsts inside a single kiss

I'll learn your body, I'll learn your mind

And love all the places no one else could find

 

[Chorus]

Baby, you're a man with multitudes

And every one undoes me

 

The playful and the deep

The funny and the tender

The brilliant and the bruised

The wicked and the wanting

 

You're my rarity, my king

You’re my everything

 

[Bridge]

I set down my armor

Letting myself fall in

I want the kind of forever

I can feel beneath my skin

 

No careful half-step toward it

No keeping one foot out the door

No holding back my heart now

This time I want more

 

You’re that living, breathing letter

Resting warm inside my hand

You're my first forever

I'm trusting where we land

 

[Chorus]

Baby, you're a man with multitudes

And every one undoes me

 

The playful and the deep

The funny and the tender

The brilliant and the bruised

The wicked and the wanting

 

You're my rarity, my king

You’re my everything 

 

[Outro]

You are a rarity, my love

My equal, my match in every way

I love the man you are

I fall further every day 

 

All those years, I never knew

But I know exactly who I'm holding now

The boy I missed at seventeen

Now the man I get to love completely

Baby you have multitudes,

And EVERY one undoes me

For every version of you I never saw coming... and every version I have yet to discover
