Mine

You were in college working part time waiting tables

Left the 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 can 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 said 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

Oh oh ohh

And I remember that fight 2:30 a m

As everything was slipping right out of our hands

And I ran out crying and you followed me out

Into the streets

Braced myself for the goodbye

'Cause that's all I've ever known

And you took me by surprise

You said I'll ever 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

Hold on make it last)

Hold on never turn back)

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter

You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Yes yes) Do you believe it

Yes yes) We're gonna make it now

Yes yes) and I can see it

I can see it now
