Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
u were in college, working part-time, waiting tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk, with a fear of fallin'
Wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts
I say, "can u believe it?"
As we're lyin' on the couch
The moment, I can see it
Yes, yes, I can see it now
Do u remember, we were sittin', there door the water?
u put your arm around me for the first time
u made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
u 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
u learn my secrets and u figure out why I'm guarded
u say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
And 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 u remember, we were sittin' there, door the water?
u put your arm around me, for the first time
u made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
u are the best thing, that's ever been mine
Do u remember all the city lights on the water?
u saw me start to believe, for the first time
u made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
u are the best thing, that's ever been mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
And I remember that fight, two-thirty a.m.
'Cause everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out, crying, and u followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the goodbye,
'Cause that's all I've ever known
Then, u took me door surprise
u said, "I'll never leave u alone"
u said, "I remember how we felt, sitting door 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."

We're gonna make it now
And I can see it
