You're a wild child

I can tell by the curls on your head

You have that special swagger about you

I can tell by the bend of your lips and the sway of your hips

You had a heart as big as an ocean

I could tell it was gone by the hollowness in your eyes, the sulk in your cheeks

You're so full of adventure

I can tell by the bruises that kiss your knees and elbows

You were the one for me

I could tell by the warmth of your arms and the light in your eyes
