The Freshmen (Live)

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

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

Can't be held responsible

She was touchin' her face

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

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, how he never really wept, he says

"Can't be held responsible

She was touchin' 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

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey, yeah

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Tried to wash our hands of all of this

We never talk of our lacking relationships

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

"Can't be held responsible

She was touchin' 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

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
