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

Stoppin' baby's breath and a shoe full of rice, now

Can't be held responsible

'Cause 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

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 says

"Can't be held responsible

'Cause 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

We tried to wash our hands of all of this

We 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

'Cause she was touchin' 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
