Intro:
Verse:
You were in college working part time waiting tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk with a fear of falling
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
Bridge:
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
Chorus:
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
Verse:
Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
Bridge:
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
Chorus:
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
Middle 8:
And I remember that fight 2:30am
Cause everything was slipping right out of our hands
And I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the goodbye
Cause thats all Ive ever known
And you took me by surprise
You said Ill never leave you alone
Chorus:
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
Hold on, 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
Do you believe it?
We're gonna make it now
I can see it
I can see it now
