Lyrics: Fifteen

You take a deep breath and 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 freshmen year and you’re gonna be there
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.’

Chorus

‘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
Fifteen

You sit in class next to a redhead 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

Chorus

‘Cause when you’re fifteen
And somebody tells you they love you
You’re gonna believe them
When you’re fifteen and your first kiss
Makes your head spin ’round 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

Chorus

‘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

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
