Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You were in college working part-time waiting tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was at flight risk with the fear of falling
Wondering why we bother with love if it never last
I say, "Can you believe it?"
As we're lying on the couch
The moment I could see it, yes yes
I can see it now
[Verse 2]
Do you remember we were sittin' 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
[Verse 3]
Flash forward and we're takin' on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learned my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parent's mistakes
[Verse 4]
But we got bills to pay
We got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take, yes yes
This is what I thought about
[Verse 5]
Do you remember we were sittin' 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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
And I remember that fight, 2:30 a.m.
When everything was slipping right out of our hands
I'm 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"
[Verse 8]
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 the careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine"
[Verse 9]
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
[Verse 10]
Do you believe it?
We're gonna make it now
And I can see it
I can see it now
