Lyrics of White Houses by Vanessa Carlton
verse
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
verse
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
verse
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
pre-chorus
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
chorus
It's alright
And it's nice not to be so alone
But I hold on to your secrets
In white houses
verse
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
verse
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
chorus
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
bridge
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
verse
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
chorus
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
outro
In white houses
In white houses
Writer(s): Vanessa Carlton, Stephan Douglas Jenkins
