You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors
It's the mornin' of your very first day
You say hi to your friends you ain't seen in a while
Try and stay out of everybody's way

Nico took a deep breath as he walked through the doors to Half Blood High on the morning of his very first day.

"Hey, Percy!" He called out to one of his friends he hadn't seen in a while, but mostly was just trying to stay out of everybody's way.

It's your freshman year and you're gonna be here
For the next four years in this town
Hopin' one of those senior boys will wink at you and say
"You know, I haven't seen you around before"

It's Nico's freshman year and he was going to be here for the next four years in that little old town. Just hoping one of those senior boys would wink at him and say, "You know, I haven't seen you around before".

'Cause when you're fifteen
And somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them

And when you're fifteen
Feeling like there's nothing to figure out

Nico was 15 when Will told him he loved him, and then he believed him. Cause when he was 15 he felt like there was nothing to figure out.

Well, count to ten
Take it in
This is life before you know who you're gonna be
At fifteen

Counting to ten, Neeks took it in, this was his life before he knew who he was going to be. He was 15.

You sit in class next to a red-head named Rachel Dare
And soon enough you're best friends
Laughing at the other guys
Who think they're so cool
We'll be out of here as soon as we can

He sits in class next to a red head named Rachel, and soon enough they're best friends. They were laughing at the other guys, who thought they were so cool, they'll be outta there as soon as they can.

And then you're on your very first date
And he's got a car
And you're feeling like flying
And your mama's waiting up
And you're thinking he's the one
And you're dancing 'round your room when the night ends
When the night ends

And then he's on his very first date, and Will has a car, Nico's feeling like flying. And his mama's waiting up. And Nico's thinking he's the one, they're both dancing around their rooms when the night ends.

'Cause when you're fifteen
And somebody tells you they love you

You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen
And your first kiss makes your head spin around

Cause Nico was 15 when someone had told him they loved him, and he was bound to believe him. Cause he was 15 when his first kiss made his head spin around.

Well, in your life you'll do things
Greater than dating the boy surgeon bound to be
I didn't know it at fifteen

Well, in Nico's life he did things greater than dating the person who was bound to be a surgeon. He didn't know it at 15.

When all you wanted
Was to be wanted
Wish you could go back
And tell yourself what you know now

Nico wishes he could go back to when all he wanted was to be wanted and tell himself what he knows now.

Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday
But I realized some bigger dreams of mine
And Rachel Dare gave everything she had
To a boy who changed his mind
And we both cried

"I swear to Styx I'm going to marry him, someday." Nico had said, before he realized some bigger dreams of his.

And Rachel gave everything she had to Percy, who ended up changing his mind for a girl named Annabeth Chase.

And they both cried, deep, deep into the night.

'Cause when you're fifteen
And somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen
Don't forget to look before you fall

When Nico was 15 and Solace told him he loved Nico, he had to believe him. But he forgot to look before he fell.

But I've found time can heal most anything
And you just might find who you're supposed to be
I didn't know who I was supposed to be
At fifteen

But Nico found out a few years later that time can heal most anything, and he finally found who he was supposed to be. A funeral planner. Something he didn't know, never even would've guessed, at fifteen.

La-la la-la la-la-la-la
La-la la-la la-la-la-la
La-la la-la
Your very first day
Take a deep breath guy
Take a deep breath as you walk through the doors
