Ah-ah, ah-oh 00:00

Ah-ah, ah-oh 00:08

You were in college, working part-time, waiting tables 00:17

Left a small town, never looked back 00:21

I was a flight risk, with a fear of falling 00:25

And wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts 00:29

I say, "Can you believe it?" 00:34

As we're lying on the couch 00:39

The moment, I can see it 00:42

Yes, yes, I can see it now 00:45

Do you remember we were sitting there by the water? 00:49

You put your arm around me for the first time 00:53

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter 00:57

You are the best thing that's ever been mine 01:01

Flash forward, and we're taking on the world together 01:09

And there's a drawer of my things at your place 01:13

You learn my secrets, and you figure out why I'm guarded 01:17

You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes 01:21

But we got bills to pay 01:26

We got nothing figured out 01:31

When it was hard to take 01:35

Yes, yes, this is what I thought about 01:36

Do you remember we were sitting there by the water? 01:41

You put your arm around me for the first time 01:45

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter 01:48

You are the best thing that's ever been mine 01:52

Do you remember all the city lights on the water? 01:56

You saw me start to believe for the first time 02:00

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter 02:04

You are the best thing that's ever been mine 02:08

Oh-oh, oh 02:15

And I remember that fight, 2:30AM 02:19

As everything was slipping right out of our hands 02:24

I ran out crying, and you followed me out 02:28

Into the street 02:31

Braced myself for the goodbye 02:37

'Cause that's all I've ever known 02:41

Then you took me by surprise 02:45

You said, "I'll never leave you alone" 02:49

You said, "I remember how we felt, sitting by the water 02:55

And every time I look at you, it's like the first time 03:00

I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter 03:04

She is the best thing that's ever been mine" 03:08

Hold on and make it last 03:12

Hold on, never turn back 03:15

(Hold on) you made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter 03:19

(Hold on) you are the best thing that's ever been mine 03:24

Do you believe it? 03:30

We're gonna make it now 03:34

And I can see it (yeah, yeah) 03:38

I can see it now 03:41

[English]

Ah-ah, ah-oh
Ah-ah, ah-oh
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
And 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
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
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
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
Oh-oh, oh
And I remember that fight, 2:30AM
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"
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 and make it last
Hold on, never turn back
(Hold on) you made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
(Hold on) you are the best thing that's ever been mine
Do you believe it?
We're gonna make it now
And I can see it (yeah, yeah)
I can see it now
