White Houses Lyrics

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 endNow 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 dayJenny 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 spokenAnd 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 soonIt's alright and it's nice not to be so alone
But I hold on to secrets in white housesMaybe 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 hurtI sneak into his cars cracked leather seat
The smell of gasoline in the summer heat

Boy, we're going way too fast
It's all too sweet to lastIt'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 housesMy 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 mistakeMaybe 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 beenSo 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 housesAnd you, maybe you'll remember me
What I gave is yours to keep in white houses
In white houses
In white houses
