The Verve Pipe-The Freshman

When I was young I knew everything
And she a punk who rarely ever took advice
Now I'm guilt stricken, sobbin' with my head on the floor
Stomp on Baby's Breath and a shoe full of rice, no...

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 sobbin' 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 lack in relationships
And how we're guilt stricken sobbin' 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 merely freshmen
We were only freshmen

I dont care that it was written in the 90s. Im 15 and this is one of my favourite songs.

@Charles87sf They will only say that because music is on a downward spiral. Music is becoming more shit every day.

Anyone see the movie rockstar? It's about this guys life.

[Kekkouneko]

@Mavdoss It must suck to be such a close minded child that you honestly think that. There's always been shit music. You're gonna say Bieber and all those other pop idols. Well think about the 90s and early 2000s flavor of the months. Nync, backstreet boys, britney spears They were good to us, but the previous generation didn't see it, hated them, made fun of 'em, now we're doing the same thing but the internet reinforces it. WE'RE THE SAME AS THE LAST GENERATION. SAME AS NEXT.

Jaried Ramblin' Stew Stewart you better sing this song at the Shipwreck Grill!! You sound just like this guy!!!

[momNkids5]

@Mavdoss there you to be a time where you werent allowed to say curse words thue a song on radio,they used to bleep them out. now they don't. and people waunder why we have 10yr olds curseing and talking about guns and drugs. i belive in freedon of speech but when your a parent and your trying to censor the explicit content it's not like you can forbid your child to have a radio.

there is no parental control.
