You were in college working part time waitin’ tables
As we’re lying on the couchThe 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 daughterYou 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
But we got bills to payWe got nothing figured outWhen it was hard to takeYes, yes, I thought about
You put your arm around me for the first timeYou made a rebel of a careless man’s careful
daughterYou 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
And I remember that fightTwo-thirty AM
Yes, everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the streetBraced myself for the goodbye
I fell in love with a careless man’s careful daughter
She is the best thing that’s ever been mine”
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine
It's the morning of your very first dayAnd you say hi to your friends you ain't seen in a while
Try and stay out of everybody's way
Hoping one of those senior boys will wink at you and say
"You know, I haven't seen you around before"
Well, count to ten, take it inthis is life before you know who you’re
gunna be
You sit in class next to a redhead named AbigailAnd soon enough you're best friends
Laughing at the other girls who think they're so coolWe'll be outta here as soon as we can
And then you're on your very first date and he's got a car
When you're fifteen and your first kissMakes your head spin 'round
Makes your head spin 'roundBut in your life you'll do things greater than
Dating the boy on the football teamBut I didn't know it at fifteen
When all you wanted was to be wantedWish you could go back and tell
yourself what you know now
