White Houses by Vanessa Carlton

Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This (1)____________ bungalow with some (2)______________ new friends
Stay up too late, and I'm too thin
We (3)______________ each other it's 'till the end
Now we're spinning empty bottles
It's the (4)________ of us
With (5)____________ (6)________ boys (7)__________ die to trust
I can't resist the day
No, I can't resist the day
Jenny (8)______________ out and it's no pose
'Cause when 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 more (11)____________ (12)________ a girl like her
Summer's all in bloom
Summer's ending soon
It's alright
And it's (13)________ not to be so alone
But I hold on to secrets, in
White Houses

Maybe I'm a (14)____________ bit (15)________ 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 (16)________ his car's (17)______________ leather seat
The smell of (18)________________ 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 (19)______________ in my veins
And I pray it never fades, in
White Houses
My
First
Time
Hard to explain
Rush of blood (oh)
And a (20)____________ bit of pain
On a cloudy day
It's more (21)____________ (22)________ you think
He's
My
First
Mistake

Maybe you were all faster than me
We gave each other up so easily
These silly little wounds (23)________ never mend
I feel so far (24)________ where I've been
So I go
And I will not be back (25)________ again
I'm (26)________ 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 (27)__________ to keep, in
White Houses, in
White Houses, in
White Houses
