White Houses lyrics

Artist  : Vanessa Carlton 
Song : White Houses
 


Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This
little bunk alone with some strange new
friends
Stay up too late, and I'm too
thin
We promise 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 spoken
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 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 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 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, 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, 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
