I I I
You were in college working part time waiting tables
Left a small town never looked back
I was a flight risk with the fear of falling
Wondering why we'd bother with love if it never lasts
I say can you believe it
As we're lying on the couch
The moment I could see it yes yesI can see it now
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 lost
Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learnmy secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parents mistakes
But we got bills to pay
We got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes yesis what I thought about
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water
You pushed 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
Do you remember all the city lights underwater
You saw me start to bleed
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
And I remember that fight two thirty am cause
Everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out crying
And you followed me out into the stream
Brace 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
You saidI 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
It's the best thing that's ever been mine
Hold on and make it last
Hold on never turn back
You need a rebel love
A careless miss careful daughter
You are the best thingit's ever been mine
Do you believe it
We're gonna make it now
And I can see it
