The Boy on the Football Team (Fifteen Part 2)
So this is my first post, and I've been toying around wit this for a while, every since Taylor and Travis started dating, wondering what a Part 2 to Fifteen might look like if Taylor wrote an update to "dayting a boy on the football team." Would love to know what you all think, edits and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is welcome. This is my first attempt at song writing, so be gentle.... :-)
(Verse 1) You take a deep breath and you stare in the mirror It’s the mornin’ of your very best day You say "hi" to the woman that you’ve become now Put the fears and the heartbreak away It’s been a long road and you’re standin’ here With a white dress and a fearless heart Hopin' that the road that led you here was worth it just to say "I promise that I’ll never go away, for sure"
(Chorus) 'Cause when you’re thirty-something and somebody tells you they love you You finally believe them And when you’re standin’ here, feelin’ like you figured it out Well, count to ten, take it in This is life now that you know who you’re gonna be Happy
(Verse 2) You sit in the room next to a redhead named Abigail And look at us, we’re best friends Laughin’ at the old days when we thought we weren't cool Now we wouldn't change a single thing And then, you hear the music start and he’s standin’ there And you’re feelin’ like flyin’ And your mama’s teary-eyed and you know he’s the one And you’re dancin’ 'round the room when the night ends When the night ends
(Chorus) 'Cause when you’re thirty-something and somebody tells you they love you You finally believe them And when you’re grown up and your first dance Makes your head spin 'round And in your life, you did things greater than You could ever dream Just to end up with the boy on the football team I didn't know it at fifteen
(Bridge) When all you wanted was to be wanted I wish I could go back and tell myself what I know now Back then, I swore I was gonna marry him someday But I had to find some bigger dreams of mine And Abigail gave everything she had To a boy who changed his mind But she’s right here by my side And we’re crying happy tears this time
(Guitar Solo - Upbeat and sweeping)
(Chorus) 'Cause when you’re older and somebody tells you they love you You’re gonna believe them And when you’re lookin’ back, 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 finally found who I was supposed to be ...And the boy on the football team.
(Outro) Take a deep breath as you walk through the doors It's the morning of your very first day. La la la... Fifteen.
