From old friends to new acquaintances-
As this summer goes on and on I'm realizing something so depressing. So many of my old friends are now nothing more than new acquaintances. The silence that fills the same room, with the same people, is no longer comfortable, but all too awkward. The fear that whatever you say next is just something they are going to judge you about. And either way, if they keep it to themselves, or make it obvious, its still something else just creating more awkward silence all around.
It's depressing when you realize this, but i guess this old song was right..."well i guess this is growing up"
What is it about aging that rips away the layer of beauty in so many things?
When I was young I knew everything,
And she, a punk who rarely ever took advice
Now I'm guilt-stricken, sobbin' with my head on the floor
Stopped a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice, no...
BRIDGE:
Can't be held responsible
She was touchin' her face
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place
CHORUS:
For the life of me
I can not remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
For the life of me
I can not 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
And now he's guilt-stricken, sobbin'
With his head on the floor
Thinks about her now and how he never really wept he said
BRIDGE
CHORUS
hey yeah yeah yeah yeah
hey yeahhhhhhh
hey yeah yeah yeah yeahhhhhh
We tried to wash our hands of all of this
We'd never talk of our lacking relationships
And how we're guilt-stricken sobbin' with our heads on the floor
We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip we'd say...
BRIDGE
CHORUS x2
We were merely freshmen
We were only freshmen
.....i miss and loved all our past memories....
....no matter how stupid or pointless they seemed at the time....
