So no secret that I loooooove Taylor Swift. Her songs come on, and I cant control my shoulders, they just start to move, and then the rest of the body! And all of a sudden I have lost control of my lips and they are singing her lyrics loudly, while my body is dancing all around! Weird I know. But she just released a new album, and there is a song on there called "Mine" and the first time I heard it, it almost made me cry! I just feel like it is exactly the story of Jon and me (not sure how Jon feels about our life being compared to a T-Swift song...but I'm sure he must be used to it by now...). But I thought I would share the lyrics, because this is my favorite song for today! Something different will probably catch me tomorrow and it may change...
"Mine" by Taylor Swift
You were in college workin part time waitin tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk with a fear of fallin
Wonderin why we bother with love if it never lasts
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 takin 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 guarded
You say 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 were sitting there by the water....
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 at 2:30 am
You said everything was slippin right out of our hands
I ran out crying and you followed me into the street
Brace myself for the goodbye cause thats all I've never known
Then you take me by surprise
You said "I'll never leave you alone"
You said "I remember how we felt sittin by the water
And everytime 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"
Do you believe it? We're gunna make it now. And I can see it
Ooooooh man i just love this song!!! Jon and I were sitting on a couch the first time he told me that he loved me - and we were also sitting on a couch the first time we ever talked about marrying each other in the future - the first time when I actually looked at him and realized that I never wanted to be with anyone else, ever. When we met, I was so jaded, and closed off, and he broke down those walls, and he made his way in. By loving me, and always staying around even when I pushed hard, he made me believe in love, believe in forever. We have NOTHING figured out, and we get overwhelmed by life and the bills that keep coming, but we are also able to look at each other and remember why we are together. He didn't make me into a rebel (probably more the other way around...) but he did help me stop being so afraid of things. He pushes me to do crazy things that I never thought I could do! He definately helped this careful girl become more carefree with the small things. We have soooo many good memories (like the night we started dating, and I fell through thin ice up to my waist because I was being such a little know-it-all!) and I would not change one thing about our life together. He convinced a girl who never believed in love that love actually exists and that she is actually capable of it, and that what we have is a forever kind of thing. And everytime he looks at me, it really is just like the first time. There is nothing more I need.
Thank you, miss Taylor Swift for all the dance parties you have provided me with - and for being so awesome and letting me have these great moments of happiness knowing that I have what you are singing about and what so many other girls are searching for. I love you Jon! You are the BEST thing that's ever been mine :)
