Taylor Swift – Mine lyrics
You were in college working part time waiting tables
Left the 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 can 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 said 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 ohh
And I remember that fight, 2:30 a.m.
As everything was slipping right out of our hands
And I ran out crying and you followed me out into the streets
Braced myself for the goodbye
'Cause that's all I've ever known
And you took me by surprise
You said I'll ever 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

(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
(Yes, yes), Do you believe it?
(Yes, yes), We're gonna make it now
(Yes, yes) and I can see it
I can see it now

    The song describes my relationship with my boyfriend. He is my rock at times. For example, the fight in the song is similar to one he and I had last night. I can't even remember what it was about but I remember thinking that it had to have been over, he wouldn't want me now. I said that to him and he said that it hasn't happened yet and its not going to tonight. I thought I lost my love and my best friend but he's still all mine. The song is about couples like he and I, the ones who aren't just lovers, but best friends too. The kind that can make it through the worst of things, but only through God Almighty. I'm blessed to have him and I hope and pray that every girl find their best man and every guy find his best woman! God bless!

    I think this your best song yet it accually sends a message. The message is why do we bother with love if it never last? Because it never does. If people open their eyes to their family and besties 4life that's love not love for someone you barely meet its weird when you say you love someone and you barely even meet them. I did that to one of my ex and let me just say it didn't go as I wanted it 2 and most of the time I still think of him and I still love him or that's what I think.

    This song is about a girl whose parents divorced (probably because her dad was "careless") so she didn't really believe in love because of that. She was really careful but then she meets a boy and he made her into a rebel, he made her believe in love for the first time. And he is the best thing that's ever been hers. But when they have a fight, she thinks its falling apart and she runs out crying, thinking its goodbye. But then he follows her and tells her that he'll never leave her alone. And that shes the best thing that's ever been his.

    Easy. There's a girl that's scared that love doesn't last, as she saw her parents fight all the time. Then she falls in love with a boy, and she's scared that their love will fall apart the same way her parents' love did. Then her and the boy she loves have an argument, and she's bracing herself for him to leave her. But he doesn't. He tells her he won't leave her, and she stops worrying that he'll leave her.

    How things happened for others is not necessarily the way it will happen for you. It all depends on how important something is to you. In this song, taylor swift's relationship was so important to her and they both saw it as something worth fighting for. Love isn't perfect, it has it's problems, but if it's really worth it to the people, those imperfections won't matter, they'll make it even more perfect!

    It's about a girl who moves away from home and runs into a boy she used to date. They meet in a restaurant where he works and then start dating. Then it jumps to a few years later when they're still together an they live together. It tells the story of how he saved her from her parents and their constant fighting. And now she's afraid of everything going wrong and they fight, but everything ends up working out in the end.
    In the end. It's about true love.

    This song means a girl met a boy at a cafeteria. They suddenly love at first sight and planned to go out on a date so they did. Everytime they go for a date they became closer and closer until they decided to married. But then, there was an accident, they fight at each other. The girl thought that this is the end of her life but no it wasn't. The boy came running out after her, apologise and told her about the feeling when they ere together. The girl also said the same thing. And then they lived happily ever after. The end.

    I think this is one of her only songs that aren't break up. Correct me if I'm wrong I don't really listen to her anymore. Anyway its about a girl who's parents fought when she was younger, and she fell in love with this guy and she doesn't want her relationship to be like theirs, and the guy tells her it won't and they get back together and fall in love.

    I was at my grandparents house a week or two ago, on YouTube.
    And I was looking at one of those things about the leak of this song.
    Never did hear the song that day but.
    Then about 3 days ago I was listening to the radio and I heard an un-familiar song. It sounded like Taylor. I was like. No it can't be. Could it?
    Then I heard her say, You are the best thing that's ever been mine.
    And I was like, it is!
    *Jumps around car with joy*
    I adoreee this song.
    Kinda reminds me of someone. C:.

    This was my ex and mine song. However he said this was his secret passion because he felt it explained us best. He never did anything like this guy in this song. He never chased after me when I'd walk out of the house. He never took me anywhere. He did make a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter. He I thought was the best thing that had ever been mine but I was wrong. I was the best thing that had ever been his. He'll learn the hard way for cheating and leaving me for a girl online and then dragging me along as a fall back in case him and her didn't work out.
