Lyrics[]
- 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 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- Yes, yes do you believe it?
- Yes, yes we're gonna make it now
- Yes, yes I can see it
- I can see it now
