Mine

Uh Uh Uh oh

You were in college 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 drawer 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 2:30 a m

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

Then 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

Do you believe it

We're gonna make it now

I can see it

I can see it now
