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'd bother with love, if it never lasts
I say can you believe it
As we're lying on the couch
The moment I can see it
Yes, yes
I can see it now
Do you remember when 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
Fast 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 parent's mistakes
We got bills to pay
We got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes
This is what I thought about
Do you remember when we 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 I started 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
And I remember that fight til 2:30 am
You said everything was slipping out of our hands
I went out crying and you followed me out to the streets
Brace myself for the goodbye
Causes it's all i've ever known
When you took me by surprise
You said I 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 acareless 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
Yeah, do you believe it?
Gonna make it last
And I can see it
I can see it now
