The Freshmen by The Verve Pipe

When I was young and knew everything 
And 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 

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 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 
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 
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’ve tried to wash our hands of all of 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 

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 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
