The Freshman Verve Pipe Lyrics What do they mean to you?

Question

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

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

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
hat made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise

Answer 1

They mean alot to me because the band performed at my high school last year. It makes you think about everything and not look past anything. Don't take anything for granted.

Answer 2

"We were merely freshmen" It means just that to me. To look back only a few years and think of all the people those few years have taken is bone-chilling. Life is an unsolved mystery... especially when you loose friends at a young age.

Answer 3

Someone committed suicide
