Fifteen
Taylor Swift 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 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
"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 red-head 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 mama'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
Your very first day
Take a deep breath girl
Take a deep breath as you walk through the doors

According to Songfacts, Fifteen is about Taylor Swift's best friend Abigail.
Swift told The Los Angeles Times that for most of their time in high school, the two friends thought of themselves as ugly ducklings. She explained: "We kind of came to the conclusion in ninth grade that we were never going to be popular, so we should just stick together and have fun and not take ourselves too seriously. That's why I had so much fun in high school, because I didn't focus too much on the fact that I wasn't really in the clique."

I remember listening to this on my family computer in the living room, watching music videos and playing flash games. When this song didn't really have a meaning like it does now to me.
I went back to this music video when I was 15.
Now I'm closer to 22 than 15 and I'm crying right now because this song will never stop being relatable.
I still don't know who I'm gonna be.
This will always be one of my favorite songs by Taylor.
"When all you wanted, was to be wanted. Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now"

For all the 15 year olds right now, don’t rush into the whole love and kissing stage.. it’s not always what you expect... going by my experience, I got more than just a kiss, I got a baby girl and he left when it happened.. I’m now 27 and she’s 11... few more years and I’ll make sure she knows that at 15 you don’t need to be worrying about boys loving you 🙌🏻
