@shadowman2192 I'd imagine his best friend and his girlfriend broke up. The best friend just needed a week to forget her, but the girlfriend, being so heartbroken and unable to cope, killed herself. She clearly cared far more for him than he did for her.
-
@shadowman2192 He's singing about two separate incidents. The first is about himself and his girl. She gets the abortion, he feels guilty. The second is about his best friend.
-
@Alexanadu What does he mean when he says his friend took and vacation to forget her and she took a weeks worth of valium and slept?
-
@Alexanadu He got her pregnant so she got an abortion then felt guilty and killed herself and he blames her for being in love with him??? I have never understood this song.

-
I hate to sound like a dick, but the lyrics are "stop" a babys breath and a shoe full of rice. And it refers to a young couple getting an abortion so they don't feel like they have to get married as "Freshman".. If I'm wrong I apologize.

I've heard this song before, but for the first time I understand what he was actually singing about. It's actually quite tragic, but the theme is these young men, these "freshmen," will not take responsibility for the tragedies befalling their lovers. In the first case, an abortion, the second, a suicide, placing instead the blame on the girl for having fallen in love with him in the first place. I was thinking of singing this at a graduation, but now it doesn't seem appropriate.
