The Verve Pipe-The Freshmen lyrics

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
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
`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

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

I 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
