Mine
Glee [HD Full Studio] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 lying on the couch
The moment, I can see it
Do you remember, we were sitting 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 taking 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 nothing figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes, this is what I thought about
Do you remember, we were sitting 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
Two-thirty AM
When 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
And 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?
Going to make it now
And I can see it
I can see it now
The song "Mine" by Taylor Swift, as covered by Glee, tells a story of a young couple who fell in love. The first verse introduces the two characters: the girl who left her small town for college, and the boy who is afraid of falling in love. However, they end up in a relationship, and as they lie on the couch together, the girl realizes she has found someone special. The chorus describes the boy as the best thing that has ever happened to her, and she remembers the special moments they shared, like when he put his arm around her for the first time at the water.
The second verse shows the couple facing challenges together, such as paying bills and figuring out life. The girl remembers the difficult times, but also recalls how supportive the boy was. The bridge describes a specific fight they had, where the girl thought she was going to lose him, but he surprised her by promising to never leave her alone. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the idea that the boy is the best thing that has ever happened to her, and that they are going to make it.
Overall, the song emphasizes the joys and difficulties of being in a relationship, but also the power of finding someone who truly loves and supports you.

Oh, oh, oh
No precise meaning conveyed here
And I remember that fight
I recall the argument we had
Two-thirty AM
At half-past two in the morning
When everything was slipping right out of our hands
When everything was getting out of control
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
I ran out and cried, and you followed me onto the street
Braced myself for the goodbye
I prepared myself for the goodbye
‘Cause that’s all I’ve ever known
Because that's all I'm familiar with
And you took me by surprise
And you caught me by surprise
You said, I’ll never leave you alone
You said that you'll never abandon me
Going to make it now
We are definitely going to make it now
And I can see it
And I can visualize it
I can see it now
I can see it now

I fell in love with Naya when I was up late one night spending too much time on YouTube when I should have been sleeping. In honesty I’ve never watched one full episode of glee however this was suggested because I am such a HUGE swiftie and have been for 12 years. I remember listening to this the first time and actually crying my eyes out because I was in awe of the talent, beauty and emotion she brought to a song I have loved for years and transformed it into something completely different then the original. I immediately downloaded the glee version on my phone and have cried happy tears (I’m a very emotional person) pretty much every time it’s come on shuffle over the years.
Now her version of this song is even more beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.
I just listened to the statement police have made confirming they have found her body. When the police officer said that naya “helped” her son into the boat and “boosted him from behind” after which he told officers he looked back and saw her “disappear under the water” my heart stopped. I had had a feeling after reading articles the past few days about how dangerous the locals said the lake was (and had been begging for signs to be put up for years warning of the dangers) that she had saved him first, knowing how dangerous it was becoming in the moment and had gotten taken away with the shore before she could save herself as well.
Every good and pure life being taken is such a tragedy especially in this way... but the fact that in her last moments the very last thing she did was save a life, her 4 year old sons life makes her an absolute fucking hero. I can’t imagine the trauma her son will have to fight forever after seeing such a distressing scene but when he grows up I hope he knows just by that one moment what a kind, beautiful, selfless, protective and brave woman his mother was. How much she clearly loved him and how she protected “the best thing that’s ever been mine” to her.
Rest in Peace Naya Rivera - you will not be forgotten. You should be so proud of the woman that you became and the woman you are.

You were in college working part time waiting tables
Left the small town never looked back
I was the flight risk with the fear of falling
Wondered why we bothered with love if it never lasts
…
I say can you believe it?
As we're lying on a couch
The moment I could see it
Yes, yes, I can see it now
…
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel out of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
…
Flash forward, and we'd been taking on the world together
And there is a drawer of my things at your place
You learned my secrets and you figured out why I'm guarded
You said we'd never make my parents' mistakes
…
But we've got bills to pay
We've got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes, this is what thought about

And I remember that fight, 2:30 AM
When everything was slipping right out of my hands
And 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
And you took me by surprised
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 is like the first time

I’m so crushed about what happened to Naya. She was a mom, a daughter, a friend, and much more. Her character made me feel less alone, and I’ll always be grateful for that. Praying for her loved ones.

I also wanted to acknowledge that I am only speaking about her in past tense based on the reports from law enforcement regarding the most likely scenario at this time (7/9/20). Of course I’m holding out hope but also trying to be realistic. Much love to others in pain over this ❤️.

She’s gone.
