You were in college, working part-time, ♥

waiting tablesLeft 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 itYes, yes, ♥

I can see it nowDo 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♥

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 takeYes, 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 ♥

lYou 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 ♥

AMYou 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 knownThen, ♥

you took me by surpriseYou 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 nowAnd I can see itI can see it now ♥
