Fifteen

You take a deep breath and you walk through the doorsIt's the morning of your very first dayYou say "Hi" to your friends, you ain't seen in a whileTry and stay out of everybody's way
It's your freshman year and you're gonna be hereFor the next four years in this townHoping 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 andSomebody tells you they love youYou're gonna believe themAnd when you're fifteenFeeling like there's nothing to figure outWell, count to ten, take it in, this is lifeBefore you know who you're gonna beFifteen
You sit in class next to a redhead named AbgailAnd soon enough you're best friendsLaughing at the other girls who think they're so coolWe'll be out of here as soon as we can
And then you're on your very first date, and he's got a carAnd you're feeling like flyingAnd your mama's waiting up and you're thinking he's the oneAnd you're dancing 'round your room when the night endsWhen the night ends
'Cause when you're fifteen andSomebody tells you they love youYou're gonna believe themAnd when you're fifteenAnd your first kiss makes you head spin 'roundBut in your life you'll do things greater thanDating the boy on the football teamBut I didn't know it at fifteen
When all you wantedWas to be wantedWish you could go backAnd tell yourself what you know now
Back then I swore I was gonna marry him somedayBut I realized some bigger dreams of mineAnd Abigail gave everything she hadTo a boy who changed his mindAnd we both cried
'Cause when you're fifteen andSomebody tells you they love youYou're gonna believe themAnd when you're fifteenDon't forget to look before you fallI've found time can heal most anythingAnd you just might find who you're supposed to beI didn't know who I was supposed to beAt fifteen
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...
Your very first dayOh, take a deep breath, girlTake a deep breath as you walk through the doors
