The Freshmen

When I was young, I knew everything

And she, a punk who rarely ever took advice

Now, I'm guilt-stricken, sobbin' with my head on the floor

Stopped a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice, no

Can't be held responsible

She was touching her face

I won't be held responsible

She fell in love in the first place

For the life of me, I cannot remember

What made us think that we were wise

And we'd never compromise?

For the life of me, I cannot believe

We'd ever die for these sins, we were merely freshmen

My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her

His girl took a week's worth of valium and slept

And now, he's guilt-stricken, sobbin' with his head on the floor

Thinks about her now and how he never really wept, he said

"Can't be held responsible

She was touching her face

I won't be held responsible

She fell in love in the first place"

For the life of me, I cannot remember

What made us think that we were wise

And we'd never compromise?

For the life of me, I cannot believe

We'd ever die for these sins, we were merely freshmen

We tried to wash our hands of all of this

We'd never talk of our lacking relationships

And how we're guilt-stricken, sobbin' with our heads on the floor

We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip, we'd say

"Can't be held responsible

She was touching her face

And I won't be held responsible

She fell in love in the first place"

For the life of me, I cannot remember

What made us think that we were wise

And we'd never compromise?

For the life of me, I cannot believe

We'd ever die for these sins, we were merely freshmen

For the life of me, I cannot remember

What made us think that we were wise

And we'd never compromise?

For the life of me, I cannot believe

We'd ever die for these sins, we were merely freshmen

We were merely freshmen

We were only freshmen
