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

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

I can see it now

Hold on

Never turn back

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)

(Oh yeah)

Yes, yes, do you believe it? (hold on)

Yes, yes we're gonna make it now (hold on)

Yes, yes, I can see it (come on, come on)

'Cause that's all I've ever known

Then you took me by surprise

You said I'll never leave you alone

She is the best thing that's ever been mine
