The Freshmen

The Verve Pipe

When I was young I knew everything



And she a punk who rarely ever took advice



Now I'm gilt stricken,



Sobbing with my head on the floor



Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice



I 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 cannont 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 weeks's worth of



Valium and slept



Now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his



Head on the floor



Thinks about her now and how he never really



Wept he says




We've tried to wash our hands of all this



We never talk of our lacking 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
