You were in college, working part-time, waiting tables
Left a small town and never looked back
I was a flight risk, with a fear of falling
Wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts
You were in college, working part-time, waiting tables
Left a small town and never looked back
I was a flight risk, with a fear of falling
Wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I say, "Can you believe it?"
As we're lying on the couch
The moment, I could see it
Yes, yes, I can see it now
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Flash forward, and we're taking on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
But we got bills to pay
We got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes
This is what I thought about:
[Chorus]
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
Do 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
[Bridge]
And I remember that fight, 2:30 AM
As everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out, crying, and you followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the goodbye
Cause that's all I've ever known
Then, you took me by surprise
You said, "I'll never leave you alone."
[Chorus 2]
You said, "I 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
She is the best thing that's ever been mine"
Hold on, make it last
Hold on, never turn back
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah
Do you believe it? (Hold on)
We're gonna make it now (Hold on)
And I can see it
Yeah, yeah
I can see it now (See it now)
Du var på college, arbejdstid, venttabeller
Forlod en lille by og aldrig kiggede tilbage
Jeg var en flyrisiko, med en frygt for at falde
Spekulerer på, hvorfor vi gider med kærlighed, hvis det aldrig varer
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Jeg siger, "Kan du tro det?"
Som vi ligger på sofaen
I øjeblikket kunne jeg se det
Ja, ja, jeg kan se det nu
[Kor]
Kan du huske, vi sad der, ved vandet?
Du sætter din arm omkring mig for første gang
Du lavede en rebel af en skødesløs mands omhyggelige datter
Du er den bedste ting, der nogensinde har været min
[Vers 2]
Flash fremad, og vi tager på verden sammen
Og der er en skuffe af mine ting på dit sted
Du lærer mine hemmeligheder, og du regner med, hvorfor jeg er bevogtet
Du siger, at vi aldrig vil gøre mine forældres fejl
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Men vi fik regninger til at betale
Vi fik ikke noget regnet ud
Da det var svært at tage
Ja, Yes
Det var det, jeg tænkte på:
[Kor]
Kan du huske, vi sad der, ved vandet?
Du sætter din arm omkring mig for første gang
Du lavede en rebel af en skødesløs mands omhyggelige datter
Du er den bedste ting, der nogensinde har været min
Kan du huske alle byens lys på vandet?
Du så mig begynde at tro på første gang
Du lavede en rebel af en skødesløs mands omhyggelige datter
Du er den bedste ting, der nogensinde har været min
[Bro]
Og jeg husker at kamp, 2:30 am
Som alt var glidende lige ud af vores hænder
Jeg løb ud og græd, og du fulgte mig ud i gaden
Braced mig selv til farvelen
Fordi det er alt, hvad jeg nogensinde har kendt
Så tog du mig overrasket
Du sagde: "Jeg vil aldrig forlade dig alene."
[Chorus 2]
Du sagde: "Jeg husker, hvordan vi følte, sidder ved vandet
Og hver gang jeg ser på dig, er det som første gang
Jeg blev forelsket i en skødesløs mands omhyggelige datter
Hun er den bedste ting, der nogensinde har været min "
Hold på, gør det sidst
Hold på, aldrig vende tilbage
Du lavede en rebel af en skødesløs mands omhyggelige datter
Du er den bedste ting, der nogensinde har været min
[Outro]
Ja ja
Tror du det? (Hold fast)
Vi skal gøre det nu (hold på)
Og jeg kan se det
Ja ja
Jeg kan se det nu (se det nu)
