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 fallin'
Wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts

I wonder if you believe it
Wonder if you're feeling proud
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 were the best thing, that's ever been mine

Flash forward, and we're takin' on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
I tell you everything, the reasons why I'm always guarded
Now you understand why I'm so afraid

When we had bills to pay
And had nothin' 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 were the best thing, that's ever been mine
Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
I really thought it would be what I visualized
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You were the best thing, that's ever been mine

And I remember that fight, two-thirty am
'Cause everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out, crying, and you followed me out into the street

And I saw that look in your eyes,
'Cause it's all I've ever known
Then words I would recognize
You said, “Maybe it's best if I let you go”

You said, "I remember how we felt, sitting by the water
That's how I know it can't be like the first time
I turned you reckless when I should have helped you be stronger
But I promise I never meant to change my mind”

I can't believe it
I thought it'd last somehow
Guess I couldn't see it
