MICHELLE BRANCH - White Houses lyrics

rate me

Crashed on the floor when I moved in <br />

This little bunk alone with some strange new friends<br />

Stay up too late, and I'm too thin <br />

We promise each other it's 'til the end <br />

Now we're spinning empty bottles <br />

It's the five of us <br />

With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust<br />

I can't resist the day <br />

No, I can't resist the day <br />

<br />

Jenny screams out and it's no pose<br />

'Cause when she dances she goes and goes<br />

Beer through the nose on an inside joke <br />

I'm so excited, I haven't spoken <br />

And she's so pretty, and she's so sure<br />

Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her<br />

The summer's all in bloom <br />

The summer is ending soon <br />

<br />

It's alright and it's nice not to be so alone<br />

But I hold on to your secrets in white houses <br />

<br />

Maybe I'm a little bit over my head<br />

I come undone at the things he said <br />

And he's so funny in his bright red shirt<br />

We were all in love and we all got hurt <br />

I sneak into his car's black leather seat <br />

The smell of gasoline in the summer heat <br />

Boy, we're going way too fast <br />

It's all too sweet to last <br />

<br />

It's alright<br />

And I put myself in his hands<br />

But I hold on to your secrets in white houses<br />

Love, or something ignites in my veins <br />

And I pray it never fades in white houses <br />

<br />

My first time, hard to explain<br />

Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain<br />

On a cloudy day, it's more common than you think<br />

He's my first mistake <br />

<br />

Maybe you were all faster than me<br />

We gave each other up so easily <br />

These silly little wounds will never mend<br />

I feel so far from where I've been <br />

So I go, and I will not be back here again<br />

I'm gone as the day is fading on white houses <br />

I lie, put my injuries all in the dust <br />

In my heart is the five of us <br />

In white houses <br />

<br />

And you, maybe you'll remember me<br />

What I gave is yours to keep <br />

In white houses <br />

In white houses <br />

In white houses</
