The Freshmen

The Verve Pipe · Super Hits [2007]

When I was young I knew everything

She, a punk who rarely ever took advice

Now I'm guilt-stricken, sobbin' with my head on the floor

Stopped a babies breath and a shoeful of rice, no



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 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 guilt-stricken, sobbin' with his head on the floor

Thinks about her now and how he never really wept, he says



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 never compromise

For the life of me

I cannot believe

We'd ever die for these sins

We were merely freshmen



Hey Yah Eee Hah Eee Hah Eee Yah

Hey Yaaah

Hey Yah Eee Hah Eee Yah



We tried to wash our hands of all of this

We never talk of our lack 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 held responsible

'Cause 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
