Lyrics
Crashed on the floor when I moved in This little bungalo 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 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 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 onto secrets In white houses
Maybe I'm a little bit over my head I come undone at things he said And he's so funny in his bright red shirt We were all in love now 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 onto his 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 lied, rode 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 it is yours to keep In white houses In white houses In white houses
