White Houses
Vanessa Carlton
[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
It's alright
And it's nice not to be so alone
But I hold on to your secrets in white houses

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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
[Bridge 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
In white houses
In white houses
In white houses
