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 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 I'm so excited, I haven't spoke 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 on to 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 black 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 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 give each other up so easily Sealing little wounds we'll 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, put 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
