Fifteen
Taylor Swift

You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors
It's the morning of your very first day
And 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 outta 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 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
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

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

- my newest find & treasure :) i know taylor has written this song a long time ago but i only hear this now and i loved it instantly.. i can totally relate to it - and to tell you, "being 15" is one of the best years of my life :) the message tells almost all the things i felt and experienced when i was fifteen :)

so today, 5 years later, i think it's just fitting that i post in here something i am fond of remembering again and it's being fifteen :)


for the fifteeners out there, let's study this song and learn from it.. here we go! :p

"'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them" - true :) but... taylor also warns you...

"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" - yes, as fifteeners, you can experience series of pains and heartaches because the world is too ideal for you, you are just starting to spread your wings and discover the world and it's okay but make sure that at the end of it all, you'll learn from the experience..

"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" - yes again! you may feel that that someone special you gushingly talk and dream right now is really the ONE.. well, think again. you can have greater experiences than that.. don't just settle for anything less right now because i tell you, it is not final yet - just wait :)

"When all you wanted was to be wanted
Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now" - i experienced this feeling too! every teeners (or in out topic fifteeners), this feeling of being always wanted is normal.. you go through this phase of your life because it has something to teach you in facing life.

"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" - this is one of the reasons why i love Taylor! we're of the same age and what she's writing, i can really relate to it! such a brilliant and wonderful artist :) anyway, another "YES, i've experienced it all" statement from me :) i never look before i fall so i got my heart broken when i was fifteen but it's ok because of these heartbreaks, i learned how to really be strong and guard my heart from more pain or if i'm in pain, i can already know how to handle my heart and my self too well.. :) at fifteen, it's the start of unveiling new discoveries in your life so make sure you know how to get a hold of yourself so you won't easily be thrown away by happenings and circumstances :)

"Your very first day
Take a deep breath girl
Take a deep breath as you walk through the doors" - what matters most is that you will know yourself better going through these phases of being a fifteener.


at the end of the day, what i can truly advise to all of you out there is that just enjoy the ride, take time to laugh, to love and just let things happen step by step in your life.. life is a game, play it fair and square.

LIFE IS GOOD!
