Mine Songtext
von Jason Chen

You were in college working 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 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 arms 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

Fast forward, we were 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
And 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, mine

And I remember that fight, 2:30 a.m.
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"

Do you remember we were sitting there 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)
(Hold on, make it last) you made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
(Hold on, never turn back) you are the best thing that's ever been mine
