mine :)

you were in college,working part time,working tables
left a small town and never looked back
i was a flight risk,afraid of fallin'
wondering why we bother with love
if it never lasts
i say "can u believe it?"
as we're lyin' 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 ur 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 takin' on the world together
and there's a drawer of my things at your place

you learn my secrets and figure out why i'm guarded

you say we'll never make my parents' mistake
but we got bills to pay
we got nothin' figured out
when it was hard to take
yes;yes
that is what i thought about
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 hing that's ever been mine
and i remember that fight two-thirty AM
you said everything was slipping right out of your 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
then you took me by suprise
you said " i'll never leave you alone "
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,we'll make it last
hold on,never turn back
hold on,you made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
hold on,you are the best thing that's ever been mine
hold on,do you believe it?
hold on,we're gonna make it now
hold on,and i can see it
yeah,i can see it now
