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
Laughin’ 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 

Cuz when you're fifteen, 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 

But in your life you'll do things 
Greater than datin 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 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 
And when you're fifteen 
Don't forget to look before you fall 

I've found time can heal almost anything 
And you just might be who you're supposed to be 
I didn't know who I was supposed to be 
at fifteen 

You're very first day 
Take a deep breath girl 
And take a deep breath as you walk through the doors
