AH AH OH
AH AH OH
YOU WERE IN COLLEGE
WORKIN' PART-TIME
WAITIN' TABLES
LEFT A SMALL TOWN
NEVER LOOKED BACK
I WAS A FLIGHT RISK
WITH A FEAR OF FALLIN'
WONDERIN' WHY
WE BOTHER WITH LOVE
IF IT NEVER LASTS
I SAY
CAN YOU
BELIEVE IT
AS WE'RE LYIN' ON
THE COUCH
THE MOMENT
I CAN SEE IT
YES YES
I CAN SEE IT NOW
DO YOU REMEMBER
WE WERE SITTIN' 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
FLASH FORWARD
AND WE'RE TAKIN'
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 PARENT'S
MISTAKES
BUT WE'VE
GOT BILLS TO PAY
WE'VE GOT NOTHIN'
FIGURED OUT
WHEN IT WAS
HARD TO TAKE
YES YES
THIS IS WHAT
I THOUGHT ABOUT
DO YOU REMEMBER
WE WERE SITTIN' 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
UH OH OH
AND I REMEMBER
THAT FIGHT
TWO-THIRTY A.M.
YOU SAID EVERYTHING
WAS SLIPPIN' RIGHT
OUT OF OUR HANDS
I RAN OUT CRYIN'
AND YOU
FOLLOWED
ME OUT INTO
THE STREET
BRACED MYSELF FOR
THE GOODBYE
'CAUSE IT'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 SITTIN' 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
NEVER TURN BACK
YOU MADE A REBEL
OF A CARELESS MAN'S
CAREFUL DAUGHTER
YOU ARE THE BEST THING
THAT'S EVER BEEN
MINE
WE'RE GONNA
MAKE IT NOW
AND I CAN SEE IT
