Mine lyrics

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

I say, "Can you believe it?"

As we're lying on the couch

The moment I could see it

Yes, yes, I can see it now

Chorus

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 that's ever been mine

Verse 3

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 parents mistakes

Verse 4

We got bills to pay

We got nothing figured out

When it was hard to take

Yes, yes, this is what I thought about

Chorus

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 that's ever been mine

Verse 5

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

Verse 6

And I remember that fight, 2:30AM

You said everything was slipping right out of our hands

I ran out crying and you follow me out into the street

Braced myself for the goodbye, cause that's all I've ever known

And you took me by surprise, you said, "I'll never leave you alone"

Verse 7

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."

Verse 8

(Hold on, we'll make it last)

(Hold on, never turn back)

(Hold on) You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter

(Hold on) You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Verse 9

(Hold on) Do you believe it?

(Hold on) We're gonna make it now

(Hold on) And I can see it

(Yeah, yeah, yeah) (I can see it now)
