Freshmen

Oftentimes I wake up in the morning not really sure at which point of my life did I choose the path which had led me here. Have I always trod on the "one less travelled by and that has made all the difference"? Straight out of a Robert Frost Poem.

I figured life is too accidental to have a destiny, preferring to believe that what I am about to do today will make a difference to the rest of my life.

I'm not yet so rash to make the mistakes in this song. I think I'm old enough not to make mistakes like these so easily yet young enough to be wary at all times.

The Freshmen

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 comprimise
for the life of me cannot believe
we'd ever die for these sins
we were merely freshman

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
think's 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

i can't be held responsible
cause she was touching her face
and 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 comprimise
for the life of me cannot believe
we'd ever die for these sins
we were merely freshman
