Y ou were in college working part-time waiting tables
L eft a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk, with a fear of falling
Wo ndering why we bother with love, if it never lasts
I say, 'Can you believe it?'
As we're lying on the c ouch
The moment I can see it
Ye s, yes
C
I can see it now
D o you remember we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
Y ou made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
F lash forward and we're taking on the world together
A nd there's a drawer of my things at your place
Y ou learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
Y ou say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
But we got bills to pay
We got nothing figured o ut
C
When it was hard to take
Ye s, yes
C
This is what I thought about
D o you remember we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
Y ou made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
D o you remember we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
Y ou made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mi ne
And I remember that fight, 2:30 AM
As everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out crying and yo u 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 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
Ho ld on
Make it last
C
Hold on
Never turn back
Y ou made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter (hold on)
You are the best thing that's ever been mine (hold on)
(Oh yeah)
Yes, yes, do you believe it? (hold on)
Yes, yes we're gonna make it now (hold on)
Yes, yes, I can see it (come on, come on)
I can see it now
