Lyric discussion by angill973 

I think this song shows why Taylor Swift is such a popular artist. She sings about things girls actually go through. A lot of times girls feel like they're lost which is why "this is life before you know who you're gonna be."

It's like a vineyette almost. She's just talking about her life when she was fifteen, and she's trying to give a little advice to girls who are at the same point in their lives as she was. She talks about boys and her first kiss, and how at the time, they seemed like the most important thing to her. She even thought she was going to marry one of them.

She also talks about her best friend Abigail. She shows how their friendship was all laughs making fun of other girls who thought "they were so cool." They both wanted to get out of their town. Then Abigail gave her heart (and possibly her virginity) to a boy who "changed his mind" and they both cried. Abby cried because she was heartbroken, and Taylor cried because her best friend was in pain.

I think this is a beautiful song.

Oh, and I hope I submitted the correct lyrics, but I'm not entirely sure.

I fully agree with you...angil973..Taylor Swift just speaks out to girls who are just trying to get through life and hoping that everything will be alright

Somehow, I think that Taylor gave her virginity too ! I think the song is talking about her regret that she dated a boy in this age .. "When all you wanted was to be wanted, Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now"

agree with you :D oh and RoroJonasBrothers i totally agree with u cus something happened to me when i was 15. i just cried all the time and wished i could turn back the time.
