You were
in college wor
king 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
Isay "Can you believe it?
As we're lying on the
couch?"
Themoment 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.
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
Bracedmyself for the "Good
bye"
'cause that'sall I've ever kn
own
Thenyou took me by sur
prise
You said, "I'll never leave you al
one."
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
You made a rebel of a
careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine.
(Hold
on)
Do you be
lieve it?
(Hold
on)
Gonna make it now.
(Hold
on)
I can
see it,
(Yes,
yes) I
can see it now.
