White Houses by 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 (1)______________ each other it's 'till the end
Now we're spinning empty bottles
It's the five of us
With pretty (2)________ boys girls die to trust
I can't resist the day
No, I can't (3)____________ 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
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 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 hold 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 something ignites in my veins
And I pray it (4)__________ 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 common than you think
He's
My
First
Mistake

Maybe you were all faster (5)________ me
We (6)________ each other up so easily
These silly little wounds will never mend
I (7)________ so far (8)________ (9)__________ I've been
So I go
And I will not be back (10)________ 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 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
