sad song

this song always makes me sad :(


the freshmen (the verve pipe)

when i was young and 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

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
now he's guilt-stricken sobbing with his head on the floor
thinks about her now and how he never really wept he says

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

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
