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 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
(Chorus)
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
(Chorus)
We've tried to wash our hands of all of this
We never talk of our lack in 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
(Chorus)x2
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
(SECOND TIME)
we were merely freshmen
we were only freshmen

Review about freshmen Abortion | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/23/09
Its a beautiful song but I never thought that this song was about the regretful abortion. I am complete against it and I believe if you are old enough to have sex and you are old enough to take care of a child. As of right now i'm a 21 year old virgin and I'm waiting on marrage
Abortion...? What's more... | Reviewer: Paul | 11/27/08
An interesting element in the song is that these two guys in it seem so detached from the responsibility they have towards these girls they become intimately engaged with.
Everyone wants to have a solid friend, girlfriend or boyfriend who will stick with them through thick and thin; be there when we most need them, but most never want to make the sacrifice for others. Pathetic really...

Abortion? | Reviewer: Hillary | 11/21/08
Okay, first I must admit that I might be being naive but I don't understand how he's singing about abortion.
But since I read the other reviews I wanted to put in my take, even if it changes just one person's view on abortion.
Making abortion illegal wouldn't help anyone, born or unborn. Making it illegal wouldn't stop people from having abortions, it would make them have one illegaly, where they would most likely hurt themselves more then if it was legal.
If your friend has had one, don't try to make them feel guilty, because you don't have any idea what they are going through so your opinion is biased by ignorance.
When people say abortions put the women through hell, I don't think they realize that there would be a whole other hell if they would have had the baby, especially if they are a teenager.
Yes, there is always adoption but your body shouldn't have to be put through the experience of birth when it hasn't even fully developed yet.
Also, the arguement of when life begins is pointless, because everyone has their own opinion on when life starts and that will never change.
It's funny because so many who people care so much about life before birth, don't give a shit about life AFTER birth. This world is already overpopulated.
Think about it.
Would the baby AND the mother benefit or hurt from the birth?

i didnt realise what this song was about til i read other pple's reaview. i just heard it for the first time a couple of days ago and loved it. i believe that abortion is wrong and i wld never support my friends to get one. it's not just about them anymore. fact is, there is a life inside of them that is not being given a chance to live like you and i.
i think everybody needs to just stay out of everybodys business just because you dont think abortion is right other people might
and if you happen to get into that situation you do what you belive is right
Its not wrong | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/27/08
It is sick that people might make there friends regret there decisions. There are babies born every day and they suffer until the day that they die wishing that they had never been born. If your against it dont do it but dont go against someone who is going to do it
this song is a very touching song and deals with a very strong issue....although contrversial it deals with the aftermath of such a tremendous life altering acton. Its not about the whole abortoin issue its about the effects it has on people and how fucked life can get.....that is the beauty of music though although a sad topic one can read whatever they want into it and apply it to their own lives
Abortion in it's self is SELFISH, that why the song is awsome because it shows not only how bad the lead singer feels for this...but the fact that the girlfriend who killed her baby and now wants to commit sucide...women who want to have an abortion don't realise the hell they are putting themselves through...the depression the desire for death...it takes a toll on you....emotionally and physically...That baby could have been a great singer too or president but we will never know....

Beautiful. | Reviewer: Someone | 1/17/08
A good friend when I was about 14 got pregnant and had to get an abortion. I was mean to her because I was against it. She was so depressed about what she had done she attempted suicide. I regret not supporting her in a time when she needed it the most.
Even if you don't believe in it. Not everyone does it because they are irresponsible and just don't want to deal with a kid.
So if you know someone who has to make a desicion like that. Especially if its a friend. Don't make it harder on them by berating them, or calling them a baby killer. You might lose them all together.
Beautiful song.
