"Fifteen" as written by and Taylor Swift....
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 awhile
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,
Somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen
Feeling like there's nothing to figure out
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 red-head named Abigail
And soon enough you're best friends
Laughing 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 feeling like flying
And you're mama's waiting up
And you're thinking he's the one
And you're dancing around the room when the night ends
When the night ends
'Cause 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 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,
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
Your very first day
Take a deep breath girl
And take a deep breath as you walk through the doors
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 awhile
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,
Somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen
Feeling like there's nothing to figure out
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 red-head named Abigail
And soon enough you're best friends
Laughing 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 feeling like flying
And you're mama's waiting up
And you're thinking he's the one
And you're dancing around the room when the night ends
When the night ends
'Cause when you're fifteen,
Somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen

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

It's like a vineyette almost. She's just talking about her life when she was fifteen, and she's trying to give a little advice to girls who are at the same point in their lives as she was. She talks about boys and her first kiss, and how at the time, they seemed like the most important thing to her. She even thought she was going to marry one of them.
She also talks about her best friend Abigail. She shows how their friendship was all laughs making fun of other girls who thought "they were so cool." They both wanted to get out of their town. Then Abigail gave her heart (and possibly her virginity) to a boy who "changed his mind" and they both cried. Abby cried because she was heartbroken, and Taylor cried because her best friend was in pain.
I think this is a beautiful song.
Oh, and I hope I submitted the correct lyrics, but I'm not entirely sure.
I think the song is talking about her regret that she dated a boy in this age ..
"When all you wanted was to be wanted, Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now"
oh and RoroJonasBrothers i totally agree with u cus something happened to me when i was 15. i just cried all the time and wished i could turn back the time.
When I was fifteen I definitely could not relate to the whole "chasing the boys" thing, because I wasn't and still am not ready for the responsibility of it just yet. But having the best friend who you go through everything with, and the feelings you have the very first day of highschool, I can most certainly relate to those things.
I'm really not a fan of country music, but I love how Taylor puts a little pop twist on the genre. It's what makes her music listenable for me. (:
However, I think this song speaks volumes about what happens in high school. I'm a dude and I went to Christian schools from Preschool until I graduated high school. When freshman year started, I knew a lot of nice, innocent girls from long before, and a few I had crushes on even then. When they started giving it up to junior and senior guys, it really made me sad. They became completely different people, not just in their sex lives but in their attitude, and many who were once down to earth became snooty, rejecting their life-long friends. The smart good girls dumbed themselves down and started dressing slutty (as slutty as you can get under a rigid dress code anyways) to get shallow older guys. The partying, drinking, and sleeping around consumed their lives and continued until high school ended. Many got pregnant, some multiple times, and almost all of them got abortions (this stuff spreads at a school of 400 people, believe me). Most of them were cheated on by their handsome football-playing boyfriends and continued dating them anyways since they were their security blankets, so to speak. And at Christian schools, most couples get married only a few short years if not right after high school. Taylor is right; there are much more important things in life than chasing down some jerk who treats you like crap.
If I have a daughter some day, I hope there are artists around who will sing honest and meaningful songs like this one.
Your description of the school sounds pretty accurate. I used to go o a Catholic school and it only went up to eighth grade, but things were pretty messed up then too. And the local high schools were just like that. There's nothing holy about Catholic school :)
That last comment was really sweet, it's nice that some people aren't just going around saying "OMIGAWD i just luvv this song!" Completely agree with you
i can relate to this song more then any other song out there right now. i'm 15 and even though i know the guys you have dated, the things you have done at 15 are not going to matter in 5, 10, 15 years they do now. and as teenagers or 15 year olds we get caught up in them. we are naive as xxmodernlove said. everything about this song is perfect. && i agree with what everyone has said about "abigail", sex is something girls my age get caught up in & most regret it.
this is a song so many girls over the nation can relate to, and thats why i love it so much.
straight from the young teenage heart.
anyways, it's like what we all think. when we're young and have our first real relationship, we don't see anything bad in it.
i know from my own experience, when i was fifteen and my boyfriend told me he loved me, i completely believed him, sadly the next week he went on a cruise and cheated on me with 3 girls.
young hearts are so naïve. :/
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. "
I lovet his line for some reason.
My bestfriends name is abigail(:
to me, its like how when your young, you think you know everything and your on top of the world, because life seems so perfect...
“And then you’re on your very first date and he’s got a car
And you’re feeling like flying
And you’re momma’s waiting up and you think he’s the one
And you’re dancing round your room when the night ends
when the night ends”
some friendships might end, boys break your heart, and your realize highschool mabye isnt all that its cracked up to be. but then theres always someone there for you, and together your able to get through the hard times, and grow up and mature
I'm 17 right now, and i can definetly say that this song helped me to put the last few years into perspective. this songs describes it so perfectly, only i was 14
“When all you wanted was to be wanted .. Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now”
