Fifteen

Fifteen

You take a deep breath
And you walk through the doors
It's the morning of your very first day

You say hi to your friends
You ain't seen in a while
Try and stay out of everybody's way

It's your freshman year
And you're gonna be here
For the next four years in this town

Hoping one of those senior boys
Will wink at you and say
"You know I haven't seen you around before"

'Cause when you're fifteen and
Somebody tells you that love you
You're gonna believe than

And when you're fifteen feeling like
There's nothing to figure out

But count to ten, take it in
This is life before you know
Who you're gonna be
Fifteen

You sit in a class
Next to a redhead named Abgail
And soon enough you're best friends

Laughing at the other girls
Who think they're so cool
We'll be out of here as soon as we can

And then you're on your very first date
And he's got a car and you're feeling like flying

And your mom is waiting up
And you're thinking he's the one
And you're dancing 'round your room
When the night ends
When the night ends

'Cause when you're fifteen and
Somebody tells you that love you
You're gonna believe than

When you're fifteen
And your first kiss
Makes you head spin round but

In your life you'll do things greater
Than dating the boy on the football team
I didn't know it at fifteen

When all you wanted
Was to be wanted
Wish you could go back
And tell yourself what you know now

Back then I swore
I was gonna marry him someday
But I realized some bigger dreams of mine

And Abigail gave everything she had
To a boy who changed his mind
We both cried

'Cause when you're fifteen
And somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them

And when you're fifteen
Don't forget to look before you fall
I've found time can heal most anything

And you just might find who you're supposed to be
I didn't know who I was supposed to be
At fifteen

Your very first day
Take a deep breath, girl
Take a deep breath as you walk through the doors
