Lyrics to Mine:
Ohh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ohh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You were in college
Working part time waiting tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was the flight risk with the fear of fallin'
Wonderin' why we bothered 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 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's a drawer of my things at your place
You learned my secrets and you figure out
Why I'm bothered
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
But we've 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 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 ohh
And I remember that fight 2:30 AM
Cause everything was slippin' 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
Sittin' 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'
Oh oh
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
Woah oh
Yeah, yeah... Do you believe it?
Woah oh
We're gonna make it now
Woah oh
And I can see it yeah, yeah
And I can see it now, See it now, See it now
Description:
"Mine" is a country pop song performed by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. The song was written by Swift alone and produced by Swift along with Nathan Chapman. It was released as the lead single from Swift's third studio album, Speak Now by Big Machine Records. Following an unauthorized Internet leak, the song was released on August 4, 2010, two weeks earlier than the intended release date. Swift was inspired to write "Mine" after reflecting on one of her unnamed crushes and explained that the song is about her tendency to run from love. The song contains elements of pop music and its lyrics speak of the ups and downs of a young love.
Critical reception for "Mine" was mostly positive. Swift was praised for her ability to show a mature perspective on love, although some critics called the song "formulaic" for resonating her earlier works, notably "Love Story". The song was commercially successful, as well; it became a top ten hit in Australia, Canada and Japan. The single was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA). In the United States, the song entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number three, making Swift the second female artist in the history of the Hot 100 to debut multiple tracks in the top five during a calendar year after Mariah Carey did so in 1995.
The song's accompanying music video was directed by Roman White. The video chronicles the romantic relationship between Swift and her love interest played by British actor Toby Hemingway which ends with a marriage. The music video was met with great appraise from contemporary critics who deemed it as "rather sweet," and "heartwarming." The song was performed live at numerous venues to promote Speak Now. The music video was coveted the Video of the Year Award in the CMT Music Awards 2011.
