Digital Booklet - Fearless - Taylor Swift
you take a deep breath and you walk through the doors
its the morning of your very first day
you say hI to your friends you aint seen in a while
try and stay out of everybodys way
its your freshman year and youre 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 havent seen you around, before
chorus
Cause when youre fifteen and
somebody tells you they love you
youRe gonna believe them
and when youre fifteen,
feeling like
theres nothing to fIgure out
well count to ten, take it in
this is life before you know
who youre gonna be
fifteen
you sit in class nExt to a
redhead named abigail
and soon enough
youre best friends
laughing at the other girls
who think theyre so cool
well be out of here
as soon as we can
and then youre on your very first
chorus
cause when youre fifteen and
somebody tells you they love you
written by
youre gonna believe them
Taylor
Swift
when youre fifteen and your first kiss
makes your head spin round but
In your life youll do things greater than
dating the boy on the footbalL team
but i didnt know it at fifteen
when all you wantEd
was to be wanted
wish you could go back
and tell youRself what you know
now

This album is called FEARLESS, and I guess Id like to clarify why we chose that as the title. To me, FEARLESS is not the
absence of fear. Its not being completely unafraid. To me, FEARLESS is having fears. FEARLESS is having doubts. Lots of
them. To me, FEARLESS is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. FEARLESS is falling madly in love again,
even though youve been hurt before. FEARLESS is walking into your freshmen year of high school at fifteen. FEARLESS is
getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over againeven though every time youve tried before, youve lost. Its
FEARLESS to have faith that someday things will change. FEARLESS is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who
only hurts you, even if you cant breathe without them. I think its FEARLESS to fall for your best friend, even though hes in love with
someone else. And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things theyll never stop doing, I think its FEARLESS to stop
believing them. Its FEARLESS to say youre NOT sorry, and walk away. I think loving someone despite what people think is
FEARLESS. I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is FEARLESS. Letting go is FEARLESS. Then, moving
on and being alrightThats FEARLESS too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in
love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after. Thats why I write these songs. Because I think love is FEARLESS.
