Mine

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 falling
Wondered 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 could 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 out of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

And I remember that fight, 2:30 AM
When everything was slipping right out of my hands
And I ran out crying, and you followed me out into the street

And you took me by surprised
You said: I'll never leave you alone

You said: I remember how we felt sitting by the water
She is the best thing that's ever been mine
Woah oh, oh

You made a rebel out of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Do you believe it?
We're gonna make it now

And I can see it, yeah
And I can see it now
