Mine - Carlos Chavira

You were in college, working part-time, waiting tables
Left a small town and never looked back
I was a flight risk, afraid 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 can see it
Yeah, yeah, I can see it now


Do you remember, we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the fist time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

(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
Yeah, yeah

This is what I thought about:


(Chorus)


And I remember that fight 2:30 AM
You said 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
We can make it last

Oh, Hold on
and never turn back

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Hold on
Hold on

Can you believe it?

Hold on
Hold on


(Chorus)
