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 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, 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 mamma'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
'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
'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 we 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, la
La, la, la, la
Your very first day
Take a deep breath, girl
Take a deep breath
As you walk through the doors
