(4x)
O-o-o-ow
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
Flash 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 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
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
O o oow
Ponte:
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
Raised myself for a goodbye
Cause it s all i ve ever known
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
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
