Mine

You were in college working part time waiting tablesLeft a small town, never looked backI was a flight risk with a fear of fallingWondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
I say can you believe it?As we're lying on the couchThe moment I could see itYes, 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 timeYou made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughterYou are the best thing that's ever been mine
Flash forward and we're taking on the world togetherAnd there's a drawer of my things at your placeYou learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guardedYou say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
But we got bills to payWe got nothing figured outWhen it was hard to takeYes, 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 timeYou made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughterYou 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 timeYou made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughterYou 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 handsI ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the goodbye'Cause that's all I've ever knownThen you took me by surpriseYou said I'll never leave you alone
You said I remember how we felt sitting by the waterAnd every time I look at you, it's like the first timeI fell in love with a careless man's careful daughterShe is the best thing that's ever been mine
Hold on, make it lastHold on, never turn backYou made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughterYou are the best thing that's ever been mine
Do you believe it?We're gonna make it nowI can see itI can see it now
