Mine

You were in college, working part-time, waiting tables Left a small town and never looked back I was a flight risk, with a fear of falling Wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts Pre-Chorus 1 I say, Can you believe it As we're lying on the couch The moment, I could see it Yes, yes, I can see it now Chorus 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 Verse 2 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 figure out why I'm guarded You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes Pre-Chorus 2 But we got bills to pay We got nothing figured out When it was hard to take Yes, yes This is what I thought about: Chorus 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 Bridge And I remember that fight, 2:30 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. Chorus 2 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 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 Outro Yeah, yeah Do you believe it Hold on We're gonna make it now Hold on And I can see it Yeah, yeah I can see it now see it now
