Vanessa Carlton - 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 till the end Now we're spinning empty bottles, it's the five of us We're pretty eyed boys, girls die to trust I can't resist the day No I can't resist the day And Jenny screams out and it's no pose Cause when she dances she goes and goes And beer through the nose on an inside joke And I'm so excited I haven't spoken And she's so pretty and she's so short Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her The summer's all in bloom The summer's ending soon It's alright and it's nice not to be so alone But I hold on to our secrets in white houses Maybe all the little things he said And he's so funny like Richard 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 laugh And I put myself in his hands But I hold on to our 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 it's more common than It's my mistake We give each other up so easily And say that our 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 lied Put my injuries all in a dive In my heart it's the fire I gave you In white houses
