Mine
Julia Sheer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh oh ooo o
You were in college
Working part time waiting tables
Left to small town never looked back
I was the flight risk with the fear of fallin′
Wonderin' why we bother
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 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 bothered
You said we'll 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 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
Woah oh oo
And I remember that fight 2: 30 AM
′Cause everything was slipping right
Out of my hands
And I ran out crying
And you followed me out into the street
Raised myself for a 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 about the water
And every time
I look at you is like the first time
I fell in love with careless
Man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine"
Julia Sheer's song "Mine" is a beautiful love story about falling in love with someone who unexpectedly becomes the best thing that's ever happened to you. The song is conveyed in the first person, with the singer reflecting on their relationship with their partner. It begins with the singer and their partner's contrasting backgrounds, with the singer being a "flight risk" afraid of falling in love and their partner being someone who works part-time as a waitress in a small town. The singer reflects on the doubts they had about their love, which they felt would not last, but the turning point was when they sat by the water, and their partner put their arm around them for the first time, making them believe in love. As they move forward together, they face challenges such as paying bills and the fear of making mistakes, but their love for each other is stronger than any adversity they face. The song ends with the realization that the person who was once a "careless man's careful daughter" has become the best thing that's ever happened to the singer.
The lyrics of "Mine" are incredibly poignant and reflective. They tell a beautiful story of love, growth, and commitment. The song's simplicity works in the lyrics' favor, as it emphasizes the emotion with which the lyrics were written. The verse and chorus complement each other well, and the little details like the drawer and the time of the fight make the song feel like it's about real people. The repetition of the line "You are the best thing that's ever been mine" emphasizes the love the singer has for their partner, and the bridge is a beautiful moment of vulnerability and reassurance. The song highlights that love may come from unexpected places, but when it does, it's worth cherishing.

As we're lyin' on the couch
We were relaxing on the sofa

Do you remember
Do you recall
We were sittin' there by the water?
We were beside a body of water
You put your arm around me for the first time

Flash forward and
Fast forward a bit and
We're taking on the world together
We were facing the world as a team
And there is a drawer of my things at your place

You learned my secrets
You discovered my deepest secrets
And you figured out why I'm bothered
You understood why I was upset
You said we'll never make my parents' mistakes
You promised not to repeat your parents' wrongdoings
But we've got bills to pay

We've got nothing figured out
We still don't have everything sorted yet
When it was hard to take yes yes
When it was tough to endure
This is what I thought about
This is what occupied my thoughts

A short vocalization
And I remember that fight 2: 30 AM
I remember that quarrel at 2:30 AM
'Cause everything was slipping right
Because everything was falling apart
Out of my hands
Out of my control
And I ran out crying
I left in tears
And you followed me out into the street
You pursued me in the street
Raised myself for a goodbye
I prepared myself to say goodbye
Cause that's all I've ever known
Because I had never experienced anything different
And you took me by surprise
You caught me off guard
You said 'I'll never leave you alone
You promised to never abandon me
She is the best thing that's ever been mine'
I am the best thing that has ever happened to you, according to you.
