Mine Lyrics - J Rice

1 You were in college working part time waitin’ tables

2 Left a small town, never looked back

3 I was a flight risk with a fear of fallin’

4 Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts

5 I say "Can you believe it?

6 As we’re lying on the couch?"

7 The moment I can see it.

8 Yes, yes, I can see it now.

9 Do you remember, we were sitting there by the water?

10 You put your arm around me for the first time.

11 You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter.

12 You are the best thing that’s ever been mine.

13 Flash forward and we’re taking on the world together,

14 And there’s a drawer of my things at your place.

15 You learn my secrets and you figure out why I’m guarded,

16 You say we’ll never make my parents’ mistakes.

17 But we got bills to pay,

18 We got nothing figured out,

19 When it was hard to take,

20 Yes, yes, this is what I thought about.

21 Do you remember, we were sitting there, by the water?

22 You put your arm around me for the first time

23 You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter

24 You are the best thing that’s ever been mine.

25 Do you remember all the city lights on the water?

26 You saw me start to believe for the first time

27 You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter

28 You are the best thing that’s ever been mine.

29 Oh, oh, oh

30 And I remember that fight

31 Two-thirty AM

32 As everything was slipping right out of our hands

33 I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street

34 Braced myself for the "Goodbye"

35 ‘cause that’s all I’ve ever known

36 Then you took me by surprise

37 You said, "I’ll never leave you alone."

38 You said, "I remember how we felt sitting by the water

39 And every time I look at you, it’s like the first time

40 I fell in love with a careless man’s careful daughter

41 She is the best thing that’s ever been mine."

42 Hold on, make it last

43 Hold on, never turn back
