* 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 '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.
* Verse 2 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's 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 2 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.
* Chorus 3 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.
* 8-bar break
* Verse 4 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 3 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 [x3]
