"The Freshmen" ~The Verve Pipe
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 want you" ~3rd Eye Blind
Suckers lose themselves in the games they learn to play
Children love to sing but then their voices
Slowly fade away
People always take a step away
From what is true
That's why I like you around
I want you
Yeah you do you do you do you do you do you do you do
You make me want you
An open invitation to the dance
Happenstance set the vibe that we're in
No apology because my urge is genuine
And the mystery of your rythym is so feminine
Here I am and I wanna take a hit
Of your scent cause it bit
So deep into my soul
Ooh i want you
Yeah you do you do you do you do
you do you do you do
you make me want you
(Send me all your vampires)
And I can't get enough
And I can't get enough
And i can't get enough
The village church yard is filled with
Bones weeping in the grave
A silver lining of clouds
Shines on people Jesus couldn't save
You want to know how deeply my soul goes?
Deeper than bones...deeper than bones
And I can't get enough
Ooh, I can't get enough
And I cant get enough
And I cant get enough
After we did it by the windowsill
Smoke rings drift into the midnight sky
Preasently in the quilt that your mother made
A candle burns to fight off the gloom
You said "to live this way is not for the meek"
And like a jazz DJ you talk me into sleep"
I said "There'll be no regrets when the worms come"
And they, shall sure-ly come
you do you do you do you do
you do you do you do
Send me all your vampires
I want you
