  • Oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh

    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 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 takin' 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
    You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes

    But we got bills to pay
    We got 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 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

    Oh, oh, oh

    And I remember that fight, 2:30 AM
    As everything was slipping right out of our hands
    I ran out, crying, and you followed me out into the street

    Braced myself for the goodbye
    'Cause that's all I've ever known
    Then you took me by surprise
    You said, "I'll never leave you alone"

    You said, "I remember how we felt, sitting by the water
    And every time I look at you, it's like the first time
    I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
    She is the best thing that's ever been mine"

    Hold on and make it last
    Hold on, never turn back
    (Hold on) you made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
    (Hold on) you are the best thing that's ever been mine (hold on)

    Do you believe it? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
    We're gonna make it now (yeah, yeah, yeah)
    And I can see it (yeah, yeah)
    I can see it now Writer/s: Taylor Alison Swift
