V1:
When I was young I knew everything.
She, a punk, and rarely ever took advice.
Now I'm guilt-stricken, sobbing, with my head on the floor.
Stopping baby's breath and a shoe full of rice now...
Can't be held responsible,
She was touching her face.
I won't be held responsible,
She fell in love in the first place.
Chorus:
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...
V2:
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 says...
I can't be held responsible,
She was touching her face.
I won't be held responsible,
She fell in love in the first place.
Chorus:
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-e yeah-e yeah-e yeah-yeah...
Hey-e yeah-ah... Hey-e yeah-e yeah-e yeah-e yeah-yeah-yeah...
V3:
Try to wash our hands of all of this.
We never talk of a like 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...
Can't be help responsible,
She was touching her face,
I won't be held resposible,
She fell in love in the first place...
Chorus x2
...We were merely freshmen...
We were only freshmen...
