Oh oh ooo o
Oh oh ooo o
You were in college working part time waiting tables
Left the small town, never looked back
I was the flight risk with the fear of fallin'
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
I say "can you believe it?"
As we're lying on a couch
The moment I can see it
Yes, yes, I can see it now
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
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
But we've got bills to pay
We've 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 oo
And I remember that fight two thirty a.m.
'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 a 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 sitting about the water
And every time I look at you is 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"
Oh oh
Make it last
Oh oh
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
