| 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 fallin'
|
| Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
|
| I say «Can you believe it?
|
| As we’re lying on the couch?»
|
| And I can see it
|
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, 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, yeah
|
| 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
|
| Oh but we got bills to pay
|
| We got nothing figured out
|
| When it was hard to take
|
| Yeah, yeah, this is what I thought about
|
| 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, yeah
|
| Oh I
|
| 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
|
| You’re the best thing that’s ever been mine»
|
| (Hold on make it last, hold on never turn back)
|
| I fell in love with a careless man’s careful daughter
|
| You’re the best thing that’s ever been mine" |
