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
|
