“Take my hand and my heart and soul, I will only have these eyes for you.” – “One”
3. He’s not afraid of growing old.
“When my hair’s all but gone and my memory fades and the crowds don’t remember my name, when my hands don’t play the strings the same way, I know you will still love me the same.” – “Thinking Out Loud”
4. And he’s not afraid of his partner getting old either, because he knows nothing that really matters will change.
“…cause honey your soul could never grow old, it’s evergreen, and baby your smile’s forever in my mind and memory.” – “Thinking Out Loud”

“I was told to put my job in front of you but it won’t hold me like you do.” – “Gold Rush”
6. He is a self-proclaimed nerd who wrote an amazing song (“I See Fire”) for one of the Hobbit movies.
7. He embraces quirks.
“I liked the way she dances slightly out of time and pretends she knows the words to a song she’s never heard.”- “Gold Rush”
8. And he would never ask you to change.
“Should this be the last thing I see I want you to know it’s enough for me cause all that you are is all that I’ll ever need.” – “Tenerife Sea”
9. He isn’t afraid to show his vulnerability.
“And hold me tight, don’t let me breathe feeling like you won’t believe.” – “Firefly”
10. He notices the details.
“You look so wonderful in your dress, I love your hair like that, the way it falls on the side of your neck down your shoulders and back.” – “Tenerife Sea”
11. He refuses to conform.
“And I won’t be a product of my genre, my mind will always be stronger than my songs are.” – “You Need Me, I Don’t Need You”
12. He only wants what’s best for you.
“And I’ll know you’ll say that I’m the only one, but I know God made another one of me to love you better than I ever will.” – “UNI”
13. He likes romantic walks on the beach.
“So I’ll take you to the beach and walk along the sand and I’ll make you a heart pendant with a pebble held in my hand.” – “Wake Me Up”
14. He breaks stereotypes that only guys are players and proves that Taylor Swift isn’t the only one who can write vengeful lyrics about exes.
“That heart is so cold, all over my own, I don’t wanna know that babe” – “Don’t”
15. And as every song has proven, he has the voice of an angel.
