The Freshman Jay Brannan lyrics

It's a great song so here's the lyrics, again.

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
Stopped a babies breath and a shoeful 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 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 said

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 never compromise
For the life of me
I cannot believe
We'd ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen

(Piano)

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

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 were merely freshmen

@lilugo77 The stopped a baby's breath mean's she got an abortion and a shoeful of rice means they didn't get married because of the baby being gone. You know, throwing rice at a wedding.

[PiroMunkie]

@DNAngel20089 The song is loosely based on a true story that happened to one of the band members, but there was a lot of poetic license taken with the song. Like I don't think the girl actually killed herself, but there was an abortion.

[PiroMunkie]

@DNAngel20089 Very generally it's about not wanting to commit to someone. The girl gets pregnant, he doesn't want the baby and doesn't want marriage ("Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice"). Later she kills herself over the break-up and abortion ("... took a weeks worth of valium and slept").

The song is about the guy's regret. From feeling guilty, to saying it's her fault, to denying it was even him (saying "my friend" when talking about himself).

He is a singing artist. He must be poor. But it is more important to be happy! :)

[slamcrunk1]

this version definitely fits the message of the song soooo much better. his voice is so vulnerable

[AbsolutelyAlice]

This song gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes. I can’t listen to it without crying and those are signs of a great singer.

not sure why the debate about what this song is about. At first, Vervepipe said it was about a suicide but then admitted it was about when a band member and his girlfriend chose to have an abortion. they confirmed it during an interview - search out "song facts freshman"
