Mine

You were in college

Working part time waiting tables

Left to small town never looked back

I was the flight risk with the 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 is a drawer of my things at your place

You learned my secrets

And you figured out why I'm guarded

You said we'll never make my parents mistakes

But we've got bills to pay

We've 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

And I remember that fight 2:30am

Cause everything was slipping right

Out of my hands

And I ran out crying

And you followed me out into the street

Raised myself for a 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 about the water

And every time

I look at you is like the first time

I fell in love with careless

Man's careful daughter

She is the best thing that's ever been mine"

Oh oh

Make it last

Oh oh

Never turn back

You made a rebel of a careless

Man's careful daughter

You are the best thing that's ever been mine
