Lyrics

[00:02.50] Crashed on the floor when I moved in
[00:05.91] This little bungalow with some strange new friends
[00:09.36] Stay up too late, and I'm too thin
[00:12.97] We promise each other it's til the end
[00:16.48] Now we're spinning empty bottles
[00:18.33] It's the five of us
[00:20.11] With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust
[00:23.69] I can't resist the day
[00:27.01] No, I can't resist the day
[00:30.84] Jenny screams out and it's no pose
[00:34.39] 'Cause when she dances she goes and goes
[00:37.87] Beer through the nose on an inside joke
[00:41.38] I'm so excited, I haven't spoken
[00:45.01] And she's so pretty, and she's so sure
[00:48.19] Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her
[00:51.95] The summer's all in bloom
[00:55.51] The summer is ending soon
[00:58.62] It's alright and it's nice not to be so alone
[01:03.82][01:44.48] But I hold on to your secrets in white houses
[01:11.55] Maybe I'm a little bit over my head
[01:15.02] I come undone at the things he said
[01:18.51] And he's so funny in his bright red shirt
[01:21.83] We were all in love and we all got hurt
[01:25.66] I sneak into his car's cracked leather seat
[01:29.13] The smell of gasoline in the summer heat
[01:32.23] Boy, we're going way too fast
[01:36.13] It's all too sweet to last
[01:39.31] It's alright
[01:41.04] And I put myself in his hands
[01:50.52] Love, or something ignites in my veins
[01:55.15] And I pray it never fades in white houses
[02:01.91] My first time, hard to explain
[02:09.04] Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain
[02:15.98] On a cloudy day, it's more common than you think
[02:23.04] He's my first mistake
[02:45.37] Maybe you were all faster than me
[02:48.77] Give each other up so easily
[02:52.10] These silly little wounds will never mend
[02:55.60] I feel so far from where I've been
[02:58.76] So I go, and I will not be back here again
[03:04.25] I'm gone as the day is fading on white houses
[03:09.94] I lie, put my injuries all in the dust
[03:14.67] In my heart is the five of us
[03:18.48][03:28.99][03:32.20] In white houses
[03:20.60] And you, maybe you'll remember me
[03:25.38] What I gave is yours to keep
[03:35.79] In white houses
[03:39.56] <END>
