White Houses (Live)

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 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 cracked 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, wrote my injuries all in the dust
 In my heart it's 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
