Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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 cant resist the day
[Verse 3]
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 spoke
[Verse 4]
Yeah, 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
[Verse 5]
It's alright, and it's nice not to be so alone
But I hold onto your secrets in white houses
[Verse 6]
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 7]
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
[Verse 8]
It's alright, and I put myself in his hands
But I hold onto your secrets in white houses
Love or something ignites in my veins
And I pray it never fades in white houses
[Verse 9]
My first time hard to explain, rush of blood, oh
And a little bit of pain
On a cloudy day, well it's more common than you think
He's my first mistake
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
So I go and I will not be back here again
I'm gone as the day is fading on white houses
[Verse 12]
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
