Taylor Swift - Mine

Why are you sharing this song?

I am sharing this song for two reasons, one is that I am such a big fan of Taylor Swift; 
Two is the lyrics of this song is beautiful and I can picture this story by her lyrics. 
Besides, it was so hard for me to choose one song of hers to write this assignment 
because the lyrics of her songs are always meaningful and you can realize what she
felt and what she wanted to convey by songs that she wrote.
But I choose this one to dedicate to people who will find the best thing of their life.

What is the meaning of the lyrics?

This song is a story about a girl who came from unhappy family,
that her parents' had quarrel with each other all the time in her memory,
which made her wonder why people bother with love if it never last?
She met a boy that she could picture her future with him and 
he made a rebel of a careless man of careful daughter so she said to him,
"You are the best thing that's ever been mine."
Although they got nothing figure out sometimes, 
the good things between them,for example,
they were sitting there by the water, and he put his arm around 
her for the first time, gave her power to carry on.
A fight happened in 2:30 am which everything were out of their control,
all of she has knew and learned from her parents' experience was
 that she needed to say goodbye to him and ran way,
but he ran after her and said, "I will never leave you alone."
And he also replied what she asked in the chorus,
"I remember how we felt sitting by 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."
After listening to this kind of love confession,
the girl could see their future and she thought they would 
go through every problems in the future together.

What a beautiful and romantic song! 
Hope you will like it as much as I do.
