Mine
Taylor Swift Lyrics

You were in college, working part-time, waiting tables
When we first crossed paths, you were a hardworking college student just trying to make ends meet.

Left a small town, never looked back
You had big dreams, and nothing would hold you back- not even your small town roots.

I was a flight risk, with a fear of fallin'
I was always on the move, afraid to be vulnerable and fall in love.

Wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts
I had my doubts about love, often questioning if its worth the risk if it just ends in heartbreak.

As we're lyin' on the couch
Reflecting on our relationship, as we relax together.

The moment, I can see it
Suddenly, I can see and appreciate all of the moments that led us to where we are now.

Do you remember, we were sittin', there by the water?
I recall a sweet memory we share of sitting by the water together.

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You have brought out a daring and adventurous side of me that I never knew existed.

Flash forward, and we're takin' on the world together
Fast forward to now and we are a team that can conquer anything and everything together.

And there's a drawer of my things at your place
Things have progressed to the point where I feel comfortable leaving some of my belongings at your home.

You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
You understand my past tribulations with love and are determined to make sure we don't end up like my parents did.

When it was hard to take
Recalling moments when things were hard to manage emotionally or logistically.

This is what I thought about
In those hard times, you were always on my mind, reminding me that we are in this together.

Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
Moments of awe we experienced while taking in the beauty of city lights reflecting off the water.

And I remember that fight, two-thirty a.m.
Reflecting on a heated argument we had at an odd hour of the night.

Braced myself for the goodbye, 'Cause that's all I've ever known
Expecting the worst- that things would come to an end because past experiences had always ended that way.

You said, 'I'll never leave you alone'
You reassured me that you are committed to sticking by my side through thick and thin- even when things get tough.

We're gonna make it now
Feeling hopeful and confident in the strength of our relationship to overcome whatever obstacles may come our way.

And I can see it
Finally able to see and appreciate the beauty and potential of our love for each other.
