Mine

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

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

And I remember that fight

2:30 AM

When everything was slipping right out of our hands

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

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

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

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

You are the best thing that’s ever been mine

Do you believe it?

Gonna make it now

And I can see it

I can see it now
