White Houses

Crashed on the floor when I moved in

This little bungalow with some strange new friends

Stay up too late and I'm too thin

We promise each other it's till the end

Now we're spinning empty bottles, it's the five of us

With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust

I can't resist the day, no, I cant resist the day

Jenny screams out and it's no pose

'Cause when she dances she goes and goes

And beer through the nose on an inside joke

And I'm so excited I haven't spoke

Yeah, and she's so pretty and she's so sure

Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her

The summer's all in bloom, the summer is ending soon

It's alright, and it's nice not to be so alone

But I hold onto your secrets in white houses

Maybe I'm a little bit over my head

I come undone at the things he said

And he's so funny in his bright red shirt

We were all in love and we all got hurt

I sneak into his car's cracked leather seat

The smell of gasoline in the summer heat

Boy, we're going way too fast, it's all too sweet to last

It's alright, and I put myself in his hands

But I hold onto your secrets in white houses

Love or something ignites in my veins

And I pray it never fades in white houses

My first time hard to explain, rush of blood, oh

And a little bit of pain

On a cloudy day, well it's more common than you think

He's my first mistake

Maybe you were all faster than me

We gave each other up so easily

These silly little wounds will never mend

I feel so far from where I've been

So I go and I will not be back here again

I'm gone as the day is fading on white houses

I lie, wrote my injuries all in the dust

In my heart it's the five of us in white houses

And you, maybe you'll remember me

What I gave is yours to keep

In white houses, in white houses, in white houses
