Cover art for Child lyrics by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

could be wrong, but pretty sure this one's about jade.. you can totally see the child in her when she performs or interviews, she exudes a harmless naivety (oh she wants to stay a child now and wonders why we ever, ever have to die), a careless sense of freedom (she moves in ripples, ripples)... and of course she is completely entrancing (calls out to me like a siren to a scoundrel).

but regardless of whether this song belongs to her, or someone else, it's an illuminated portrait of a man mesmerized and strikes a chord many love songs fail to do... or perhaps it's just the sun in my eyes
