White Houses by Vanessa Carlton

Crashed on the floor when I (1)__________ in
This little bungalow with (2)________ strange new friends
Stay up too late, and I'm too thin
We promise each (3)__________ it's 'till the end
Now we're (4)________________ empty bottles
It's the five of us
With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust
I can't (5)____________ the day
No, I can't (6)____________ the day
Jenny screams out and it's no pose
'Cause when she dances, she goes and goes
Beer (7)______________ 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 (8)________ (9)________ her
Summer's all in bloom
Summer's (10)____________ soon
It's alright
And it's nice not to be so alone
But I hold on to secrets, in
White Houses

Maybe I'm a little bit (11)________ my head
I come (12)____________ at the (13)____________ 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

But I hold on to secrets, in
White Houses
Love, or (14)__________________ (15)______________ in my veins
And I (16)________ it (17)__________ fades, in
White Houses
My
First
Time
Hard to explain
Rush of blood (oh)
And a little bit of pain
On a cloudy day
It's (18)________ (19)____________ than you think
He's
My
First
Mistake

Maybe you were all faster than me
We gave (20)________ (21)__________ up so easily
These (22)__________ little wounds will never mend
I feel so far from where I've been
So I go
And I (23)________ 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 it's the (24)________ 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
