White Houses
Crashed on the floor when I moved inThis little bungalow with some strange new friendsStay up too late, and I'm too thinWe promise each other it's till the end
Now we're spinning empty bottles, it's the five of usWith pretty eyed boys girls die to trustI can't resist the dayNo, I can't resist the day
Jenny screams out and it's no pose'Cause when she dances she goes and goesBeer through the nose on an inside jokeAnd I'm so excited, I haven't spoken
And she's so pretty, and she's so sureMaybe I'm more clever than a girl like herThe summer's all in bloomThe summer is ending soon
It's alright and it's nice not to be so aloneBut I hold on to secrets in white houses
Maybe I'm a little bit over my headI come undone at the things he saidAnd he's so funny in his bright red shirtWe were all in love and we all got hurt
I sneak into his cars cracked leather seatThe smell of gasoline in the summer heatBoy, we're going way too fastIt's all too sweet to last
It's alright and I put myself in his handsBut I hold on to secrets in white housesLove, or something ignites in my veinsAnd I pray it never fades in white houses
My first time, hard to explainRush of blood, oh, and a little bit of painOn a cloudy day, it's more common than you thinkHe's my first mistake
Maybe you were all faster than meWe gave each other up so easilyThese silly little wounds will never mendI feel so far from where I've been
So I go, and I will not be back here againI'm gone as the day is fading on white housesI lie, put my injuries all in the dustIn my heart is the five of us in white houses
And you, maybe you'll remember meWhat I gave is yours to keep in white housesIn white housesIn white houses
