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

I say "can you believe it?
As we’re lying on the couch?"
The moment I can 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

And I remember that fight
2:30 AM
When everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
Then you took me by surprise
You said, "I’ll never leave you alone.

You said, "I remember how we felt sitting by the water
She is the best thing that’s ever been mine"

You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
Do you believe it?
Gonna make it now
And I can see it
I can see it now
