White Houses by Vanessa Carlton

Crashed on the (1)__________ when I moved in
This little bungalow (2)________ some strange new friends
Stay up too late, and I'm too thin
We (3)______________ each other it's 'till the end
Now we're spinning (4)__________ bottles
It's the five of us
With pretty (5)________ (6)________ (7)__________ 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 (8)________ she dances, she goes and goes
Beer (9)______________ the nose on an (10)____________ joke
And I'm so excited, I haven't spoken
And she's so pretty, and she's so sure
Maybe I'm (11)________ clever than a (12)________ like her
Summer's all in bloom
Summer's ending soon
It's alright
And it's nice not to be so alone
But I (13)________ on to 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 secrets, in
White Houses
Love, or (14)__________________ (15)______________ in my veins
And I pray it (16)__________ 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 more (17)____________ (18)________ you think
He's
My
First
Mistake

Maybe you were all (19)____________ than me
We gave each (20)__________ up so easily
These (21)__________ (22)____________ 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 (23)________ as the day is fading, on
White Houses
I lie, put 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 (24)________ is yours to keep, in
White Houses, in
White Houses, in
White Houses
