When I was young
I 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
Cuz 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 slapped him

Now he's guilt-stricken
Sobbing with his head on the floor
Thinks about her now
And how he never really wept, he says

Can't be held responsible
Cuz 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

Can't be held responsible
Cuz 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
