Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

You were in college, working part-time, waiting 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 you 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 your arm around me for the fist 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´ mistakes

But we got bills to pay
We got nothin´ figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes

This is what I thought about:

Do you remember, we were sittin´ there, by the water?
You put your arm around me for the fist 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 me start 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

Oh, oh, oh, oh

And I remember that fight, two-thirty AM
You said everything was slipping right out of our 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 surprise
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."

You made a rebel 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

I can see it now
