The Freshmen Lyrics By The Verve Pipe

    when i was young i knew everything
    and she a punk who rarely ever took advice
    now i’m guiltstricken sobbin’ with my head on the floor
    stopped a baby’s breath and a shoe full of rice no

    pre
    can’t be held responsible
    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
    and now he’s guiltstricken sobbin’ with his head on the floor
    thinks about her now and how he never really wept he said

    pre
    can’t be held responsible
    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 tried to wash our hands of all of this
    we’d never talk of our lacking relationships
    and how we’re guiltstricken sobbin’ with our heads on the floor
    we fell through the ice when we tried not to slip we’d say

    pre
    can’t be held responsible
    she was touching her face
    and 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
