Mine - Ahmir

Mine - Ahmir
You were in college
Working part time waiting tables
Left to small town never looked back
I was the flight risk with the 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 taking on the world together
And there is a drawer of my things at your place
You learned my secrets
And you figured out why I'm bothered
You said we'll never make my parents mistakes
But we've got bills to pay
We've got nothing 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
And I remember that fight 2.30 AM
'Cause everything was slipping right
Out of my hands
And I ran out crying
And you followed me out into the street
Raised myself for a goodbye
'Cause that's all I've ever known
And you took me by surprise
You said I'll never leave you alone
I remember how we felt sitting about the water
I put my under arm you
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
Ever been mine
Thats ever been mine
Careful daughter you would be mine
