White Houses by Vanessa Carlton

Crashed on the floor when I (1)__________ in
This little (2)________________ (3)________ some strange new friends
Stay up too late, and I'm too thin
We (4)______________ (5)________ (6)__________ it's 'till the end
Now we're spinning empty bottles
It's the five of us
With pretty eyed (7)________ girls die to trust
I can't (8)____________ the day
No, I can't resist the day
Jenny screams out and it's no pose
'Cause (9)________ she dances, she goes and goes
Beer through the (10)________ on an (11)____________ joke
And I'm so excited, I haven't spoken
And she's so pretty, and she's so sure
Maybe I'm (12)________ clever (13)________ 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

And I put myself in his hands
But I (17)________ on to secrets, in
White Houses
Love, or (18)__________________ ignites in my veins
And I pray it never fades, in
White Houses
My

Time
Hard to explain
Rush of blood (oh)
And a little bit of pain
On a cloudy day
It's more common (19)________ you think
He's

Maybe you were all (20)____________ than me
We gave each (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 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 (24)__________ it's the five of us, in
White Houses
And you
Maybe you'll (25)________________ me
What I gave is yours to keep, in
White Houses, in
White Houses, in
White Houses
