This is what i think the song is about... He might not be a freshman in highschool by the way, maybe college, it doesnt really matter..
When I was young I knew everything
(when he was younger, he figured he knew a lot)
and she a punk who rarely ever took advice
(she was a punk who never took advice)
Now I'm guilt stricken, sobbing with my head on the floor
(presently, he's sad and crying how things are now)
Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice, no
(shoe full of rice means a wedding, so him and this punk girl ended up getting married)
can't be held responsible
'Cause she was touching her face
(he wont take responsibility that he makes her cry)
I won't be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place
(he wont take resposibility that he made her fall in love with him)
For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise
(he cant remember why they got married and never comprimised for something else)
For the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever died for these sins
We were merely freshmen
((they took vows saying they wouldn't part till death and they were very young)
My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her
His girl took a week's worth of valium and slept
(his friend is in the same situation and they're disstrought about it)
and
Now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his head on the floor
Thinks about her now and how he never really wept
(his friend is sad and crying and maybe felt he never thought about his situation)
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
(his friend also wont take responsiblity about his wife crying and how she fell in love with him)
We've tried to wash our hands of all of this
(They tried to make things better)
We never talk of our lacking relationships
(they never talked about their break up or they just dont talk about their unhealthy marrage)
And how we're guilt stricken sobbing with our heads on the floor
(they're always sad how things are)
We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip,
(this one's a tough one... i think the ice resembles their relationship, Their relationship wasnt stable like thin ice. when they got married maybe meant to test the ice, and they were too preoccupied on not straying from eachother...slipping... but instead they fell through the ice, meaning they relized they weren't right for eachother, so they either broke up, or put up with what they have...)
I lived an almost exact parallel to this song...it goes like this...I am putting it in a way as not to exactly refer it back to my story...example greater details left out.

The freshmen refers to position in life. As in being young.
The first two lines refer to personalities of the couple.
They had a baby him realizing too late that he could not handle the responsability.
They were engaged.
The guy who knew everything was scared so was she.
No compromise, she was still in love with him though he was falling out of love with her feeling the baby...

He talked with his best friend about it who was in the similar situation.
His best friends girl took pills and almost od'd.
And his girl cut her wrists.
The two guy friends cleaning up the blood. Trying to wash there hand of all of this (macbeth) were guilt stricken sobbing with their heads on the floor, they did not mean to fall in love either (fell through the ice) never talking about their lack in relationships. Deciding they were too young to be held resposible for the pain they caused in the hearts they broke, and their own in order to move on...they were merely freshman.
I love this song but it does make me cry at times hope you like my version if not se la vi.
