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...
