Vanessa Carlton - White Houses Karaoke

Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalow with some strange new friends
Stay up too late, and I'm too thin
We promise each other it's 'til the end
Now we're spinning empty bottles
It's the five of us
With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust
I can't resist the day
No, I can't resist the day

Jenny screams out and it's no pose
'Cause when she dances she goes and goes
Beer through the nose on an inside joke
And I'm so excited, I haven't spoken
And she's so pretty, and she's so sure
Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her
Summer's all in bloom
Summer is ending soon

It's alright and it's nice not to be so alone
But I hold on to your 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
We were all in love and we all got hurt
I sneak into his car's cracked leather seat
The smell of gasoline 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 your secrets in white houses
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, it's more common than 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 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 gone as the day is fading on white houses
I lied, wrote my injuries all in the dust
In my heart is the five of us
In white houses

And you, maybe you'll remember me
What I gave is yours to keep
In white houses [x3]

"It's about jealousy, it's about losing your virginity, it's about living on your own. It's a story that most people can relate to ... It's really the journey of one girl and her perception of her environment and how she starts out as a wide-eyed person, but everyone gets hardened by life, but not necessarily to the point where you can't feel anymore."

THATS WHAT THE SONGS ABOUT!

[coolmegster]

shes talking about losing her virginity not about puberty

[LucifersLittleAngel]

@coolmegster well she's talking about both. They're all apart of losing your innocence and growing up =]

@sophier24 It all took place in a white house...or white houses could represent promises that she and her boyfriend made

[AlexandraaBaby]

@koolwizzy12 ...how she will always remember how she felt with her friends and that boy around her having fun. That she will never forget her feelings, But both meanings are very true about this song.

:)

@koolwizzy12 I completly agree to that. But i also agree that it's sort of about how her and her friends would have a secret plce to meet in this abandened white house. They would do everything/anything in there. But, she's particularly saying one of the guys was her secret crush and she finally came out and told him and ended up losing her virginity to him. But then moments later figured out that, that's all her wanted and he left her. So, she's pretty much heartbroken and saying...
