You were in college working p art-time wa iting tables
Left a small town, n ever looked back
I was a flight risk, with a fe ar of falling
Wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts
I say, 'Can you believe it?'
A s we're lying on the couch
The moment I can see it
Yes, yes
F＃
I can see it now
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?
Y ou put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
Y ou are the best thing t hat's ever b een mine
Flash forward and we're t aking on the wo rld together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and you f igure out wh y I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
But we got bills to pay
W e got nothing figured out
F＃
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes
F＃
This is what I thought about
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?
Y ou put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
Y ou are the best thing t hat's ever b een mine
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?
Y ou put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
Y ou are the best thing t hat's ever b een mine
And I reme mber that fight, 2:30 AM
As everything was slipping right out of our hands
I r an out crying and you followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the goodbye
' Cause that's al l I've ever known
Then you took me by surprise
You said I'll n ever leave you alone
You said
I remember how we felt sitting by the water
A nd every time I look at you , it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
S he is the best thing that's ever been mine
Hold on
Make it last
F＃
Hold on
Ne ver turn back
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter (hold on)
Y ou are the best thing that's ever been mine (hold on)
(Oh yeah)
Y es, yes, do you believe it? (hold on)
Y es, yes we're gonna make it now (hold on)
Y es, yes, I can see it (come on, come on)
I can see it now
