White Houses Lyrics - Harmonium - Vanessa Carlton

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 

Photos 

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
