Y ou were in c ollege working p art-time wa iting tables
L eft a s mall town, n ever looked back
I was a f light risk, with a fe ar of falling
Wo ndering why we b other with love, if it never lasts
I say, 'Can you believe it?'
A s we're lying on the c ouch
The moment I can see it
Ye s, y es
I can see it now
D o you remember we were sitting there by the water?
Y ou put your arm around me for the first time
Y ou made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
Y ou are the best thing t hat's ever b een mine
F lash f orward and we're t aking on the wo rld together
A nd there's a d rawer of my things at your place
Y ou learn my s ecrets and you f igure out wh y I'm guarded
Y ou say we'll n ever make my parents' mistakes
But we got bills to pay
W e got nothing figured o ut
When it was hard to take
Ye s, y es
This is what I thought about
D o you remember we were sitting there by the water?
Y ou put your arm around me for the first time
Y ou made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
Y ou are the best thing t hat's ever b een mine
D o you remember we were sitting there by the water?
Y ou put your arm around me for the first time
Y ou made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
Y ou are the best thing t hat's ever b een mi ne
And I reme mber that fight, 2:30 AM
As everything was slipping right out of our hands
I r an out crying and yo u followed me out into the street
B raced myself for the goodbye
' C ause that's al l I've ever known
T hen you took me by surprise
Y ou said I'll n ever leave you al one
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
Ho ld on
Ma ke it last
Hold on
Ne ver turn back
Y ou made a rebel of a c areless 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
