You were in college working part-time waiting tables
Left a small town and never looked back
I was a flight risk with a fear of falling
Wondering 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 could 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 daughter
You 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 figure out why I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
But we got bills to pay
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
