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
