White Houses

Album: Harmonium
[00:01.79][03:38.96][03:41.05]
Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalow with some strange new friends
Stay up too late , and Im too thin
We promise each other its til the end
Now were spinning empty bottles
Its the five of us
With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust
I cant resist the day
No, I cant resist the day
Jenny screams out and its no pose
Cause when she dances she goes and goes
Beer through the nose on an inside joke
Im so excited, I havent spoken
And shes so pretty, and shes so sure
Maybe Im more clever than a girl like her
The summers all in bloom
The summer is ending soon
Its alright and its nice not to be so alone
[01:44.48]But I hold on to your secrets in white houses
Maybe Im a little bit over my head
I come undone at the things he said
And hes so funny in his bright red shirt
We were all in love and we all got hurt
I sneak into his cars cracked leather seat
The smell of gasoline in the summer heat
Boy, were going way too fast
Its all too sweet to last
Its alright
And I put myself in his hands
Love, or something ignites in my veins
And I pray it never fades in white houses
My first time, hard to explain
Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain
On a cloudy day, its more common than you think
Hes my first mistake
Maybe you were all faster than me
Give each other up so easily
These silly little wounds will never mend
I feel so far from where Ive been
So I go, and I will not be back here again
Im gone as the day is fading on white houses
I lie, put my injuries all in the dust
In my heart is the five of us
[03:28.99][03:32.20]In white houses
And you, maybe youll remember me
What I gave is yours to keep
In white houses
