We were merely freshmen Songtext

von Third Eye Blind

When I was young I knew everything
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, no

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

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
He 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

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 try 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

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
