The Freshmen

When I was young I knew everything She, a punk who rarely ever took advice Now I'm guilt-stricken, sobbing with my head on the floor Stopped a babies breath and a shoeful of rice, no We can't be held responsible 'Cause 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 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, sobbing with his head on the floor Thinks about her now and how he never really wept he said We can't be held responsible 'Cause 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 never compromise For the life of me I cannot believe We'd ever die for these sins We were merely freshmen (Piano Interlude) We tried to wash our hands of all of this We never talk of our lack in relationships And how we're guilt-stricken, sobbing with our heads on the floor We fell through the ice When we tried not to slip We'd say We can't be held responsible 'Cause 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 were merely freshmen
