Fifteen (Taylor’s Version)

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

At 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 momma'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

And when you're fifteen, and your first kiss

Makes your head spin around, well

In your life you'll do things greater than

Dating the boy on the football team

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

But 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, 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
