  • TAYLOR SWIFT FIFTEEN LYRICS

    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 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 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 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

    Your very first day,Take a deep breath, girl
    Take a deep breath as you walk through the doors
