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 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, Somebody tells you they love you You're gonna believe them And when you're fifteen Feeling like there's nothing to figure out 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 they 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 mama's waiting up And you're thinking he's the one And you're dancing around the room when the night ends When the night ends 'Cause when you're fifteen, 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 But in your life you'll do things Greater than dating the boy on 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, 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 La la la la la Your very first day Take a deep breath girl And take a deep breath as you walk through the doors
