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 bother with love if it never lasts

NR:

I say, "Do you believe it?"
As we're lying on the couch
The moment I can see it, yes..yes...

I can see it now

Both:

Do you remember 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...

TS:

That's ever been mine

NR:

Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
TS:

You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
You say we'll mever make my parents mistakes


Both:
But we've got bills to pay
We've got noting figured out


TS:
When it was hard to take, yes...yes...

This is what I thought about

Both:

Do you remember we were sitting there by the water
You put your arm around me for the first time
You make a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter

You are the best thing...

TS:

That's ever been mine

Both:

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...

NR:

That's ever been mine

TS:

Oh, oh, oooh...

And I remember that fight 2:30am


NR:


When 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...


NR:

I'll never leave you alone


You said...


NR:

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

TS:

Hold on
Make it last
NR: Oooooh...
Hold on
Never turn back


Both:

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing...


TS:
That's ever been mine

NR:

Do you believe it

TS:
We're gonna make it now

NR:

We're gonna make it now

TS:
And I can see it

Yes...yes...


NR:
I can see it now
TS:
...see it now...see it now...
