[00:05.46]You were in college working part time waiting tables
[00:07.22]Left a small town, never looked back
[00:09.72]I was a flight risk with a fear of fallin'
[00:11.63]Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
[00:18.41]I say, "Can you believe it?"
[00:23.37]As we're lying on the couch
[00:26.32]The moment I can see it.
[00:30.43]Yes, yes, I can see it now.
[00:32.34]Do you remember, we were sitting there by the water?
[00:36.79]You put your arm around me for the first time.
[00:40.65]You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter.
[00:43.99]You are the best thing that's ever been mine.
[00:52.94]Flash forward and we're taking on the world together,
[00:56.89]And there's a drawer of my things at your place.
[01:02.87]You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded,
[01:04.98]You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes.
[01:10.08]But we got bills to pay,
[01:15.10]We got nothing figured out,
[01:20.33]When it was hard to take,
[01:21.37]Yes, yes, this is what I thought about.
[01:23.56]Do you remember, we were sitting there by the water?
[01:30.26]You put your arm around me for the first time
[01:32.41]You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
[01:35.94]You are the best thing that's ever been mine.
[01:38.32]Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
[01:43.27]You saw me start to believe for the first time
[01:48.11]You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
[01:52.25]You are the best thing that's ever been mine.
[01:59.78]And I remember that fight
[02:00.83]Two-thirty AM
[02:03.79]As everything was slipping right out of our hands
[02:10.05]I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
[02:11.06]Braced myself for the "Goodbye."
[02:21.01]'Cause that's all I've ever known
[02:28.38]Then you took me by surprise
[02:29.57]You said, "I'll never leave you alone."
[02:33.69]You said, "I remember how we felt sitting by the water.
[02:41.31]And every time I look at you, it's like the first time.
[02:47.20]I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter.
[02:48.72]She is the best thing that's ever been mine."
