Vanessa Carlton - White Houses Lyrics

Crashed on the floor when I moved in 
This little bungalow 
With some strange new friends
Stayed up too late, and I'm too thin 
We promised each other it's 'til 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 can't resist the day 

Jenny screams out and it's no pose 
'Cause when she dances she goes and goes
Beer through the nose on an inside joke 
And I'm so excited I haven't spoken 

And she's so pretty
And she's so sure
Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her
Summer's all in bloom 
Summer is ending soon 

It's alright and it's nice not to be so alone
But I hold on to our secrets in white houses 

Maybe I'm a little bit over my head
I come undone at the things he's said 
And he's so funny in his bright red shirt
We were all in love and we all got hurt

I sneaked 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 on to our 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, 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 is 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
