Vanessa Carlton – White Houses Lyrics 20 years ago
Okay i'm going to go through this....

Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalo with some strange new friends
Stay up too late, and I\'m too thin
We promise each other it\'s til the end

They have moved in to their summer home and they're staying up late everynight and they arn't eating a lot

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

they're playing spin the bottle with boys that all the girls want to be with

Jenny screams out and it\'s no pose
\'Cause when she dances she goes and goes
Beer through the nose on an inside joke

Jenny is the pretty popular girl that everyone wants to be. She loves to dance and have a good time.

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
The summer\'s all in bloom
The summer is ending soon

Vanessa is really excited and she hasnt sed much.
Vanessa is jealous of Jenny in a way because she's so sure of herself and shes pretty but Vanessa comforts herself by knowing that she is cleverer than Jenny.

It\'s alright and it\'s nice not to be so alone
But I hold on to your secrets in white houses

Everything is okay and Vanessa is just glad she isn't alone. She keeps everyones secrets who is with her.

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

Vanessa could be drunk or just in love but she really comes undone with each thing he says. She thinks he's funny and she likes him a lot.
She says that they were all in love and they all got hurt.

I sneak into his car\'s black leather seat
The smell of gasoline in the summer heat
Boy, we\'re going way too fast
It\'s all too sweet to last

They sneak into his car and its all romantic. Its summer and shes in love. She can small the gasolene and things start moving quicker. One thing leads to another and we all know what happens next. She says this feeling is too good to be really true.

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

Everything is okay because she trusts this boy and he trusts her. She feels something in her veins, is it love? Well whatever it is she hopes that it never goes away

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

This part refers to losing her virginity. She feels a slight pain but thats all. She then says this boy is her first mistake.

Maybe you were all faster than me
We gave each other up so easily
These silly little wounds will never mend

She thinks the others were just faster than her. Shes sad that her and her friends split apart so easily and she knows their little emotional wounds will never heal

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 lie, put my injuries all in the dust
In my heart is the five of us
In white houses

She has grown up now and she feels very far away from everything that happened.She knows she can't go back but she will never forget.

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

This is to the boy, she hopes that he will remember her and what happened. She also says that she gave him her virginity and her heart and its his forever

Well thats my take on the story lol

Vanessa Carlton – Who's to Say Lyrics 20 years ago
i think this is Vanessa's beautiful song. The piano playing is so pretty!
My favourite line is "Stand up boy, I shine so bright when you're around"
I really do think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written

Rachael Yamagata – Worn Me Down Lyrics 20 years ago
I would say that this song is about a girl who wants to be with this boy but can't because he is in love with another girl. She says that she did everything for him but it just wasn't enough. He just couldn't forget this other girl.
