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
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
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
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
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
It's a very complicated song. They were in a relationship in their first year of collage so they were young, right? Yeah.
I think that he might have done something wrong or not have noticed if she was depressed. I think he broke up with her. thinking he knew he was right. Then she killed herself. He thinks it's his fault. It's a beautiful song showing how people when they are young make bad choices, and so do older people. That's my guess.
this song is actually about a boy and a girl who made a huge mistake in their relationship... they thought that it's ok to do that (whatever that sin is... i assume the girl had unwanted pregnancy) and they did that without thinking about the consequences. (when the girl got pregnant i suppose), the guy doesn't want to be held responsible because he wants the girl to be the one who's to blame because the girl agreed to do it anyway. the girl and the guy got separated to take a break from the pressure, but the girl can't bare the pain of feeling guilty for what had happened so she committed suicide. when the girl died, her boyfriend still denies being held responsible because he didn't expect that their action caused the girl's death... they never thought it could happen... well it did... oh he's so irresponsible... he never realized that both of them are responsible for any actions that they committed since they are in a relationship (well, are they? hmmm i dunno) i guess the girl was left hanging... it's always like that... a lot of guys are like that... (gosh my brain is going here and there already hehehe)
anyway i feel bad whenever i hear this song... but i like the song...
i remember my sister's ex...
he sang this song when we had our acoustic jamming somewhere...
this song is about rape actually... he thought she wanted it "I can't be held responsible. Cause she was touching her face" and about how she fell in love in the first place then he's guilt stricken. then he talks about dieing for these sins meaning the sin was rape... when he was younger, he tought he knew everything and was invincible but them this happened, he never thought it would but it did, the same thing happened to his buddy
