mine

                                                                        Oh, oh, oh
                                                                        Oh, oh, oh

                                         You were in college, working part-time, waiting tables
                                              Left a small town and never looked back
                                                     I was a flight risk, afraid of fallin'
                                          Wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts

                                                       I say, "Can you believe it?"
                                                      As we're lyin' on the couch
                                                      The moment, I can see it
                                                      Yes, yes, I can see it now

                                    Do you remember, we were sittin' there, by the water?
                                    You put your arm around me for the fist 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 takin' 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

                                                      But we got bills to pay
                                                  We got nothin' figured out
                                                  When it was hard to take
                                                            Yes, yes

                                                  This is what I thought about:

                              Do you remember, we were sittin' there, by the water?
                                     You put your arm around me for the fist 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, oh

                                      And I remember that fight, two-thirty AM
                                You said 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."

                                You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
                                       You are the best thing that's ever been mine

                                                     Do you believe it?
                                             We're gonna make it now
                                                       And I can see it

                                                       I can see it now
