Fifteen (Taylor’s Version)

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 awhile

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

Well, count to ten

Take it in

This is life before you know who you're gonna be

At fifteen

You sit in class next to a red-head 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 your mama's 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 they love you

You're gonna believe them

And when you're fifteen

And your first kiss makes your head spin around

Well, 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

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

But 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

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
