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 bothered with love, if it never lasts I said, can you believe it? As we're lying on the couch The moment I could see it, yeah, yeah, yeah I can see it now I remember we were sitting there by the water You put your arm around me for the first time Made a rebel out of a careless man's careful daughter You are the best thing that's ever been mine, yeah, that's ever been mine Flash forward and we're taking on the world together There's a drawer of my things at your place You learn my secrets and I figure out why I'm guarded You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes But we got bills to pay And we got nothing figured out When it was starting to take, yeah, yeah This is what I- I keep messing up, go again This is what I thought about I remember we were sitting there by the water You put your arm around me for the first time Made a rebel out of a careless man's careful daughter You are the best thing that's ever been mine I remember we were sitting there by the water You put your arm around me for the first time Made a rebel out of a careless man's careful daughter You are the best thing that's ever been mine That's ever been mine I remember that fight till it's 30 a.m. As everything was slipping right out of our hands And you ran out crying I followed you out into the street Braced myself for the goodbye Cause it's all I've ever known And you turned me by surprise You said I'll never leave you alone I said, I remember how we fell sitting by the water And every time I looked you, it's like the first time I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter You are the best thing that's ever been mine I remember we were sitting there by the water You put your arm around me for the first time Made a rebel out of a careless man's careful daughter You are the best thing that's ever been mine Thanks for watching!
