THE FRESHMAN
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
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
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

k, it's about how life is hard and there are times when we make
foolish choices that have extreme consequences in the long run.
We would never have guessed the way thing have turned out
and if we had known then we would have taken things more
seriously, or in some cases would have enjoyed what we had.
Some people take things too serious and never live. Others take
it easy and miss everything that happens around them. Then they
are like 50 years old looking back at the things that happened and the
choices they made. But it's sad because the moment you realize where
you went wrong, then you know it's too late. So in an effort to block
out the pain of the loss. You Deny responsibility.
Now the song itself. Some kids "Freshmen" in fact have to deal with a
lot of pressure everyday. Sometimes that gets to be too much. Some
even decide it's so much that they would rather
>>his girl took a week's worth of valium and slept
kill themselves. This is tough because they don't understand the wake
of depression the follows the loss. They have let the relationship
(Which never was all that great) build up on the past that was never
there..... But now... she's gone and it's too late.

>>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
And as the relationship started to "Crack" like thin ice... everything
falls apart....
>>I can't be held responsible
>>cause she was touching her face
>>I won't be held responsible
And even still he denies that any of it was his fault. After all
>>she fell in love in the first place
well at least that's what I hear... :)
