Fifteen

When you're only 15
How can you know what hurt means?
When I saw that look in your eyes
Ran out into the cold night
Stole a car just to sleep inside

I realize when you're 15
You surely know what love means
And when that gets taken aside
And replaced with nothing but fighting
You'll know what hurt means alright

I did not know where to go
And then you showed up like a rainbow
But I got much more than a pot of gold
I got a mate for my soul, babe
Mmm, a mate for my soul

We were only 15
Trying to work out what it means
To want someone by your side
For the rest of your life
And yet not over butterflies

Before I met you at 15
Back in 1960
I was always on the run
Unsure of what to run from
Or where I'd be when morning would come

I did not know where to go
Then you showed up like a rainbow
But you brought me much more than a pot of gold
I got a mate for my soul
Oh, a mate for my soul

Mmm, a mate for my soul
Baby, you were made for my soul
