Intro

Verse

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 (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

Chorus

for the life of me, I cannot remember

what made us think that we were wise and we'd never compro-mise

 for the life of me, I cannot believe

 we'd ever die for these sins we were merely freshmen

Bridge

each note is 2 beats):

Verse

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

Chorus

for the life of me, I cannot remember

what made us think that we were wise and we'd never compro-mise

 for the life of me, I cannot believe

 we'd ever die for these sins we were merely freshmen

Bridge

sing 'Hey yeah!' bit over this):

Verse

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 it...

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

Chorus

play twice):

for the life of me, I cannot remember

what made us think that we were wise and we'd never compro-mise

 for the life of me, I cannot believe

 we'd ever die for these sins we were merely freshmen

Outro

We were mearly freshmen
