About This Track

'15' by Gayle is a 2022 pop track from 'a study of the human experience volume two - EP'. The lyrics are a restless, self-questioning confession, with the narrator fixated on a stranger’s face and the uncomfortable aftermath of an encounter. There is a tug between regret and bafflement, as they wonder whether they are truly remembered, and why they ended up somewhere they were not fully prepared to be. The song also turns openly emotional about boundaries, admitting they did not want sex, while describing how the other person decided for them. One line sums up the mood, “But you made that choice for the both of us”.

Lyrics

15

I don't know your name
But I can't forget your face
Do I burn holes in your brain
Or am I a stranger?
Drove me to your place
'Bout an half an hour away
Damn, I wish I would've stayed with my friends

Wasn't over my ex, so I didn't want sex
But you made that choice for the both of us
Threw me on your bed, I was holding my breath
Didn't know that I shouldn't trust

'Cause I was only 15
And you were fucking 23
And you might have been drunk
But I was more fucked up
Don't give a damn about me
Just wanted my body
And I was just a kid
Yet you did what you did
I miss the me
Before 15

Would you recognize me?
Do you even know my name?
'Cause what was just a night for you
For me will never go away
Did you know you did anything wrong?
Oh, for you this just a song?
I've been singing for so damn long

'Cause I was only 15
And you were fucking 23
And you might have been drunk
But I was more fucked up
Don't give a damn about me
Just wanted my body
And I was just a kid
Yet you did what you did
I miss the me
Before 15

I was just a kid
I was just a kid
I was just a kid

'Cause I was only 15
And you were fucking 23
And you might have been drunk
But I was more fucked up
Don't give a damn about me
Just wanted my body
And you did what you did
And now I'm stuck with it
I miss the me
I'll never be
Before 15
