Oh oh ooo o Oh oh ooo o You were in college working part time waiting tables Left the small town, never looked back I was the flight risk with the fear of fallin' Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts I say can you believe it? As we're lying on a couch The moment I could see it Yes, yes, I 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 mine Fast forward and we've been taking on the world together And there is a drawer of my things at your place You learned my secrets and you figured out why I'm guarded You said we'd never made my parents mistakes But we've got bills to pay We've got nothing figured out When it was hard to take Yes, yes, this is what I thought about 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 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 Woah oh oo And I remember that fight two thirty a.m. Cause everything was slipping right out of my hands And I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street Raised 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 said I remember how we felt sitting about the water And every time I look at you is like the first time I fell in love with the careless man's careful daughter She is the best thing that's ever been mine
