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'd bother with love, If it never lasts
I say can you believe it As we're lying on a 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
Fast 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
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 Cause 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 it'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 everytime 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
Yeah, do you believe it? We're gonna make it now And I can see it I can see it now
