Mine

You were in college working part time waiting tables

Left a small town, never looked back

I was a flight risk with the fear of fallin'

Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts

I say can you believe it?

As we're lying on a 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

Flashforward 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

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

Woah oh oo

And I remember that fight two thirty a.m.

Cause everything was slipping right out of our hands

And I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street

Raised myself for the goodbye

Cause that's all I ever know

And 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 is 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

Woah oh

Yeah, yeah, do you believe it ?

Woah oh

We're gonna make it now

Woah oh

And I can see it, yeah, yeah

And I can see it now, see it now, see it now
