She walked into our tiny town of Alexandria with only a beat-up green backpack on her back. Dad came up to talk to them and from where I stood on the porch of our house, I could see him asking his usual questions. She was beautiful. Her hair was short and red with light-colored eyes. She wore a tattered Marvel's Avengers tank-top that hugged her body paired with jean-shorts and a scuffed up pair of Adidas.
Needless to say, she was flawless.
The club isn't the best place to find a lover
Alexandria wasn't the best place to find a girlfriend. She was the first person my age I'd seen in a long time.
So the bar is where I go
Later that night, Rick and Michonne threw a welcoming party for the newcomer. I stood outside on the porch in the cool night air.
Me and my friends at the table doing shots
From inside the house, I could hear Abraham and Daryl at the table doing shots.
Drinking fast and then we talk slow
They drank them so fast, they nearly choked. Daryl snickered just then as Abraham coughed. I smiled at the two of them.
You come over and start up a conversation with just me
Just then, the girl came out of the house and walked over to just me.
And trust me I'll give it a chance now
I shot her a smile as she began to talk. I guess I'd give this a chance.
Take my hand, stop
I held out my hand for her to shake and she took it, smiling.
Put Van the Man on the jukebox
In the house, I could hear an Ed Sheeran song begin to play.
And then we start to dance, and now I'm singing like
"Wanna dance?" I joked, holding out my hand again.
She laughed, grinning but nodded her head yes.
Girl, you know I want your love
"Girl, you know I want your love," I whispered in her ear and she giggled.
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
"Your love was handmade for somebody like me." she continued where I left off, ending with a wink.
Come on, now, follow my lead
My hand held onto hers tightly as we danced.
I may be crazy, don't mind me
I spun her across the wooden floor of the porch and she laughed softly, biting her lip.
Say boy, let's not talk too much
"Boy, let's not talk too much." she said into my ear, making me shiver.
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
My hand went to her waist and I pulled her flush against me.
Come on, now, follow my lead
I leaned down closer to her and instantly my lips were on hers.
Come, come on, now, follow my lead
My lips glided across hers smoothly and I felt her arms wrap around my neck.
I'm in love with the shape of you
As she danced, my eyes flitted over her attire. She wasn't the skinniest girl but that's why I liked her so much.
We push and pull like a magnet too
I spun her across the floor and she giggled, leaning into me.
Although my heart is falling too
Her Marvel tank-top didn't hide her curves and edges as she danced.
I'm in love with your body
"I'm in love with your body." I whispered into her ear and this time, I felt her shiver under my touch.
Last night, you were in my room
After dancing, we went up to my room.
And now my bed sheets smell like you
Now my bed sheets smelled like her where she sat as we talked all night.
Every day discovering something brand new
And I looked forward to spending more days with her to learn more about her.
Well, I'm in love with your body
When morning came, she got up and left. I watched her go, the sun lighting up her silhouette. A grin split my face as I leaned on the doorway of the house I shared with my dad.
I'm in love with your body
That girl...she was making me fall for her already. Everything about her was just amazing.
Well, I'm in love with your body
As she walked, she tugged her tank-top down over her wide hips and I smiled. She was a masterpiece and she didn't even know it.
Well, I'm in love with your body
I shoved my hands into my jeans pockets and headed back into the house as she turned the corner.
Every day discovering something brand new
I couldn't wait for tomorrow. Because you can bet, I'd be spending it with just her.
I'm in love with the shape of you
And maybe I was a bit in love with the shape of her. She was perfect.
