I don't know what I want, so don't ask me
'Cause I'm still trying to figure it out
Don't know what's down this road
I'm just walking
Trying to see through the rain coming down
Even though I'm not the only one, who feels
The way I do

[Chorus]
I'm alone, on my own
And that's all I know,
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong
Oh, but life goes on
Oh, I'm just a girl
Trying to find a place in this world

Got the radio on, my old blue jeans
And I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
Feeling lucky today, got the sunshine
Could you tell me what more do I need?
And tomorrow's just a mystery, oh yeah
But that's okay

[Chorus]

Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission
But I'm ready to fly

I'm alone, on my own
And that's all I know
Oh, I'll be strong, I'll be wrong
Oh, but life goes on
Oh, I'm alone, on my own
And that's all I know
Oh, I'm just a girl
Trying to find a place in this world

Oh, I'm just a girl
Oh, I'm just a girl, oh, oh
Oh, I'm just a girl

    General Comment:my family keeps asking me what plan I've had for things I'll do after I graduate and I always say that I haven't figured that out yet and they say that I'm such a terrible person for not even knowing what I really want. smh

    General Comment:Taylor explained this cut in publicity materials: "I wrote this song when I was thirteen and had just moved to Nashville. It was tough trying to find out how I was going to get where I wanted to go. I knew where I wanted to be, but I just didn't know how to get there. I'm really happy this is on the album, because I feel like I finally figured it out."

    Song Meaning:I think this song meaning is pretty self-explanatory. It's about a girl who is trying to find out who she is in the world. She doesn't want anyone to ask because she doesn't know herself. Also, she feels alone because she doesn't know anyone who she can talk to about it. Well, at least that's my interpretation.

    Song Meaning:I think this song is about not really knowing who you are. It's that phase that everyone goes to trying to see who they truly are. Not giving into what other are saying and just trying to be you and figure out who you is. after all, "I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world".

    Song Meaning:This is what Taylor says about it.

    She was 13 years old when she wrote this song. Her so-called friends were starting to be mean to her at school. She felt like an outcast.

    She's just trying to find her place. She thinks its in country music, but she isn't sure. There's a hidden message in these lyrics when they are typed in the little booklet when you buy the Fearless album. The message is: "Found It" :)

    Memory:I think this song is so amazing, because I recently moved, and I knew no one here, so I was still trying to figure everything out and the way of life up here, and I had no clue what was lying ahead of me, and no matter how many people judge me, I'll always be strong and move on in life. And there are some days where I feel where I'm absolutely in the right place, and that I'm happy, but who knows what tomorrow brings? Personally, this is one of my favorite songs by Taylor Swift.
