You were in college working part time waiting tables Left to small time never looked back I was the flight risk with the fear of falling Wondering why we bothered 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 about 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'd been taking on the world together And there is a drawer of my things and your place You learned my secrets and you figured out why I'm bothered You said we d never made 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 was I thought about Do you remember we were sitting there about 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 Braced myself for the goodbye cause that's all I've never known Then you took me by surprise you said "I'll never leave you alone" You said "I remember how we felt sitting by the water" And everytime 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 I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter She is the best thing that's ever been mine you said "I'll never leave you alone"
