Carmen Reece - Mine
Can you believe it?
As we're lying on the couch
I can see it now
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
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 say we'll never make
my parents' mistakes
Hey 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
been mine
Oh
And I remember that fight
Two-thirty AM
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
You are the best thing
that's ever been mine
Ever been mine
Do you believe it?
As we're lying on the couch
I can see it now
