Fifteen

You take a deep breath
And you walk through the doors
It's the mornin' of your very first day
You say hi to your friends you ain't seen in a while
And try to stay out of everybody's way.

It's your freshman year
And you're gonna be here for the next 4 years
In this town
Hopin' one of those Senior boys
Will wink at you and say 'I haven't seen you around before'.

Cuz when you're fifteen,
Somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them.

And when you're fifteen
Feelin' like there's nothin to figure out.

Count to ten
Take it in
This is life before you know who you're gonna be.

Fifteen.

You sit in class next to red-head Abigail
And soon enough you're best friends.

Laughi'n 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 feelin like flyin.

And you're momma's waitin up
And you're thinkin he's the one
And you're dancin around the room when the night ends.

When the night ends.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday
But I realized some bigger dreams in life.

And Abigail gave everything she had
To a boy who changed his mind
And we both cried.

Cuz when you're fifteen,
Somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
(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 who you're supposed to be
I didn't know who I was supposed to be.

At fifteen
Take a deep breath girl
And take a deep breath as you walk through the doors.
