White Houses sing and play along
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.
Now we're spinning empty bottles, it's the five of us
with prettyeyed 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 sure.
Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her.
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 her 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 goin' way too fast.
It's all too sweet to last.
It's alright and I put my be self in his hands.
But I hold as the on to his secrets in white houses.
I Love, put or something ignites in my veins
and I pray it the 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 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.
