White Houses Lyrics

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
