 the .
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
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
 each note is 2 beats):
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
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
 sing 'Hey yeah!' bit over this):
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
 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
We  were mearly freshmen
