You were in college working part time waiting tables Left a small town, never looked back I was the flight risk with the fear of fallin' Wonderin' why we bothered with love if it never lasts I say "Can you believe it?" As we're lying on the couch The moment I can see it Yes, yes I can see it now 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 Flash forward and we're taking 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 bothered You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes But we've got bills to pay We got nothing figured out When it was hard to take yes, yes This is what I thought about Do you remember we were sitting 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 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 Woah oh ohh And I remember that fight 2:30 AM Cause everything was slippin' 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 known And you took me by surprise You said "I'll never leave you alone" You said "I remember how we felt sittin' 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" Oh oh Make it last Hold on Never turn back You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter You are the best thing that's ever been mine Woah oh Yeah, yeah... Do you believe it? Woah oh We're gonna make it now. Woah oh And I can see it yeah, yeah And I can see it now, See it now, See it now
