[00:02.43]Uh, oh, oh
[00:06.30]
[00:06.91]You were in college working part time waiting tables
[00:10.53]Left a small town, never looked back
[00:14.08]I was a flight risk with a fear of fallin’
[00:17.14]Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
[00:21.43]
[00:22.11]I say, "Can you believe it?"
[00:26.33]As we’re lying on the couch
[00:29.58]The moment I can see it.
[00:31.19]Yes, yes, I can see it now.
[00:34.81]
[00:35.00]Do you remember, we were sitting there by the water?
[00:38.29]You put your arm around me for the first time.
[00:41.66]You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter.
[00:45.01]You are the best thing that’s ever been mine.
[00:49.93]
[00:52.43]Flash forward and we’re taking on the world together,
[00:55.61]And there’s a drawer of my things at your place.
[00:59.02]You learn my secrets and you figure out why I’m guarded,
[01:02.46]You say we’ll never make my parents’ mistakes.
[01:05.81]
[01:08.00]But we got bills to pay,
[01:11.10]We got nothing figured out,
[01:14.64]When it was hard to take,
[01:16.14]Yes, yes, this is what I thought about.
[01:19.88]
[01:20.01]Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
[01:23.54]You saw me start to believe for the first time
[01:26.89]You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
[01:30.37]You are the best thing that’s ever been mine.
[01:35.73]
[01:37.47]Oh, oh, oh, oh
[01:40.30]
[01:40.34]And I remember that fight
[01:42.01]Two-thirty AM
[01:43.76]As everything was slipping right out of our hands
[01:47.18]I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
[01:55.77]Braced myself for the "Goodbye."
[01:59.21]‘Cause that’s all I’ve ever known
[02:02.68]Then you took me by surprise
[02:05.98]You said, "I’ll never leave you alone."
[02:11.25]
[02:11.39]You said, "I remember how we felt sitting by the water.
[02:15.55]And every time I look at you, it’s like the first time.
[02:19.12]I fell in love with a careless man’s careful daughter.
[02:22.42]You are the best thing that’s ever been mine."
[02:26.40]
[02:26.45]Hold on, make it last
[02:29.27]Hold on, never turn back
[02:32.56]
[02:32.75]I fell in love with a careless man’s careful daughter.
[02:36.40]You are the best thing that’s ever been mine.
[02:39.96]
