Fifteen
You take a deep breath and you walk through the doorsIt's the morning of your very first dayAnd you 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 and somebody tells you they love youYou're gonna believe themAnd when you're fifteen feeling like there's nothing to figure outWell, count to ten, take it inThis is life before you know who you're gonna beFifteen
You sit in class next to a redhead named AbigailAnd soon enough you're best friendsLaughing at the other girls who think they're so coolWe'll be outta 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 you're momma'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 and somebody tells you they love youYou're gonna believe themWhen you're fifteen and your first kissMakes your 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 wanted was to be wantedWish you could go back and 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 had to a boyWho changed his mind and we both cried
'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love youYou're gonna believe themAnd when you're fifteen, don'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 be at fifteen
Your very first dayTake a deep breath girlTake a deep breath as you walk through the doors
