Mine
KIDZ BOP Kids 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 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
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 bunch 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
And I remember that fight, two thirty pm
As 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
Hold on
Do you believe it? Hold on
We're gonna make it now, yes, yes
And I can see it, yes, yes
I can see it now
The lyrics to "Mine" by KIDZ BOP Kids tell a love story that is about taking risks, growing together, learning about each other, and breaking away from the past. The first verse describes a girl who has left her small town behind and works part-time as a waitress. She has feared falling in love because it never seems to last. Then, the chorus describes a moment when she finally found someone who was the best thing in her life, and they were lying on the couch. The songwriter repeats, "Do you remember...?" as she reminisces about their past moments of falling in love, such as when they first put their arms around each other while sitting by the water, and how he helped turn a rebellious woman into someone more careful.
Then, in the second verse, they have moved in together, and he has learned her secrets and why she is guarded. Together, they believe they can do anything and won't repeat their parents' mistakes. They still have bills to pay and don't have everything figured out, but they've been together through tough times before. The bridge recalls a fight at 2:30 in the afternoon, and she ran out crying. She thought that it was the end, but he surprised her by comforting her and saying that he wouldn't leave her alone. The final chorus repeats the memories of past moments and that they are holding on to the relationship.
