You were in college working part time waiting tables
Left the 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?
I put my arm around you for the first time
I 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 said 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?
I put my arm around you for the first time
I 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?
I put my arm around you for the first time
I made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Oh... oh... ohh...
And I remember that fight, 2:30 a.m.
Coz' everything was slipping right out of my hands
And you ran out crying and I followed you out into the street
Braced myself for the goodbye
"'Cause that's all I've ever known
And you took me by surprise
You said I'll ever leave you alone"
I said...
Do you remember we were sitting here by the water
I out my arm around you for the first time
I made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine ! (x2)
Ever been mine (x2)
Mineeeeeeeeeeeee ~
Never thought that you will be mine .. <3
