Mine

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I look into your eyes, you help me realign
Ensure me of just how to be myself inside
I'm in control of everything
It's taking time, but that's ok
I can bring you to my side

You're my blessing in disguise
You're mine (You're mine)
You're mine (You're mine)

You're my blessing in disguise
You make me realize
Just how and where I want to be
Years from now

When my focal point is set
I'm something I know I'll get
It's not a question of how but more of when
You are one commodity
The choice is mine and mine for keeps
I can bring you to my side

You're my blessing in disguise
You're mine (You're mine)
You're mine (You're mine)

You're my blessing in disguise
You make me realize
Just how and where I want to be
Years from now

When I look into your eyes, you help me realign
And show me just where my dedication lies
I'm in control of everything
It's taking toll, but that's ok
I can bring you to my side

You're my blessing in disguise
You're mine (You're mine)
You're mine (You're mine)

[Repeat: x2]
You're my blessing in disguise
You make me realize
Just how and where I want to be
Years from now

You're my blessing in disguise




You make me realize
Just how and where I want to be

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
And 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, oh
And I remember that fight, two-thirty a.m.
'Cause 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."
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing, that's ever been mine
Do you believe it?
We're gonna make it now
And I can see it

It’s beautiful and painful

Wow

Wait can u explain it don’t get it

@elizaa8310

@@mahreenlast4733 for some of us, our fathers have been reckless or hurtful in our lives, and it resulted in us being careful and closed up to emotions.

@madionis5133

@@mahreenlast4733 of course, in this context Taylor has been hurt by her father's 'careless' actions. He's a careless man making her his 'careful' daughter. Gaurding her heart. Which is a sentiment close to a lot of people.
