You were in college working part time waitin’ tables
|
Left a small town, never looked back
|
I was a flight risk with a fear of fallin’
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
Oh, oh, oh
|
|
And I remember that fight
|
Two-thirty 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
|
