White Houses by Vanessa Carlton

Crashed on the floor when I (1)__________ in
This (2)____________ bungalow with some strange new friends
Stay up too late, and I'm too thin
We promise each other it's 'till 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 (3)______________ out and it's no pose
'Cause (4)________ she dances, she (5)________ and goes
Beer (6)______________ 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 (7)________ her
Summer's all in bloom
Summer's ending soon
It's alright
And it's (8)________ not to be so alone
But I hold on to secrets, in
White Houses

Maybe I'm a little bit (9)________ my head
I come undone at the (10)____________ he said
And he's so funny in his bright red shirt
We (11)________ all in love, and we all got hurt
I (12)__________ (13)________ his car's cracked leather seat
The smell of gasoline in the (14)____________ heat
Boy, we're (15)__________ 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 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 (16)__________ (oh)
And a (17)____________ 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 (18)________ other up so easily
These silly (19)____________ wounds (20)________ never mend
I feel so far from where I've been
So I go
And I (21)________ not be (22)________ here again
I'm gone as the day is fading, on
White Houses
I lie, put my (23)________________ all in the dust
In my heart it's the five of us, in
White Houses
And you
Maybe you'll (24)________________ me
What I gave is yours to keep, in
White Houses, in
White Houses, in
White Houses
