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 they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen
Feeling like there's nothing to figure out
Wеll count to ten, take it in
This is life bеfore you know
Who you're gonna be fifteen

You sit in class next to
A redhead named Abigail
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 you're momma's waiting up and
You think 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 they love you
You're gonna believe them
When you're fifteen and your first kiss
Makes your head spin round but
In your life you'll do things greater
Than dating the boy of the football team
But 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 and 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 that 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

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

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