Fifteen

You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors

It's the mornin' 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

Hopin' one of those senior boys will wink at you and say

"You know, I haven't seen you around before"

'Cause when you're 15

And somebody tells you they love you

You're gonna believe them

And when you're 15

Feelin' like there's nothin' to figure out, well

Count to ten, take it in

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

At 15

You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail

And soon enough, you're best friends

Laughin' at the other girls who think they're so cool

We'll be outta here as soon as we can

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

And you're feelin' like flyin'

And your mama's waitin' up

And you're thinkin' he's the one

And you're dancin' 'round your room when the night ends

When the night ends

'Cause when you're 15

And somebody tells you they love you

You're gonna believe them

And when you're 15

And your first kiss makes your head spin 'round, well

In your life you'll do things greater than

Dating the boy on the football team

I didn't know it at 15

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 15

And somebody tells you they love you

You're gonna believe them

And when you're 15

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 15

La-la-la, la-la-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
