Mine
Goot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 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 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 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

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

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
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Hold on, make it last
Hold on, never turn back
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
I can see it now now now

Overall Meaning

In the song "Mine" by Goot, two people who have different backgrounds fall in love with each other. The first verse talks about their beginning, where the girl was working part-time at a restaurant and had left her small town behind, and the guy was afraid of falling but still took the risk to love. The second verse shows how their relationship grew stronger as they learned more about each other and began to face the real world together. They didn't have everything figured out, but they were willing to face the problems together. The chorus talks about how they have something special and appreciation for each other.


The bridge then highlights a moment of hesitation where the girl thought it was time to say goodbye as that was what she was used to, but the guy surprised her by saying that he would never leave her alone. The last chorus emphasizes how much they love each other, and they are determined to make their relationship work. The song expresses that even though they come from different backgrounds and have different fears, they were meant to be together, and their love is the best thing that has ever happened to them.
