Mine

You're at your job working

Part time waiting tables

Left a small town never looked back

I was a flight risk with a fear of falling

Wondering why we bother

With love if it never lasts

I say can you believe it

As we're lying on the couch

The moment I could see it

Yes yes I can see it now

Do you remember we

Were sitting there by the water

You put your arm around

Me for the first time

You made a rebel of a

Careless man's careful daughter

You are the best thing

That's ever been mine

Flash forward and we're

Taking on the world together

And there's a bunch of

My things at your place

You learn my secrets and

You figure out why I'm guarded

You say we'll never make

My parents' mistakes

But we got bills to pay

We got nothing figured out

When it was hard to take

Yes yes this is what

I thought about

Do you remember we

Were sitting there by the water

You put your arm around

Me for the first time

You made a rebel of a

Careless man's careful daughter

You are the best thing

That's ever been mine

Do you remember all the

City lights on the water

You saw me start to believe

For the first time

You made a rebel of a

Careless man's careful daughter

You are the best thing

That's ever been mine

And I remember that

Fight two thirty pm

As everything was slipping

Right out of our hands

I ran out crying and you

Followed me out into the street

Braced myself for the goodbye

'Cause that's all I've ever known

And you took me by surprise

You said I'll never leave you alone

You said I remember

How we felt sitting by the water

And every time I look

At you it's like the first time

I fell in love with a careless

Man's careful daughter

She is the best thing

That's ever been mine

You made a rebel of a

Careless man's careful daughter

You are the best thing

That's ever been mine

Hold on

Do you believe it Hold on

We're gonna make

It now yes yes

And I can see it yes yes

I can see it now
