Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
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 falling
Wondering why we'd 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



All the water
You saw me start to bleed
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
Oh, oh, oh
And I remember that fight 2.30 AM
Cause everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out, I run out, I ran l while a Did it not slip, I ran out, I ran out, I ran out, I ran out, I ran out, I ran out, I ran out, I ran out, I ran out, I ran out, I ran out, I ran out, I ran out, I ran out, I ran out, I ran out, I ran out, I ran out, I ran out, I ran out, I ran out, I ran out
out crying and you followed me out into the stream. Brace myself for the goodbye, cause
that's all I've ever known. 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,
it's like the first time I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter. She is
the best thing I've ever been in my life. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
never careless man's careful daughter. You are the best thing that's ever been in my life.
Do you believe it? I'm gonna make it now. And I can see it. I can see it.
