updated White Houses...and i'm listing all the songs lyrics in a row for some reason, ..
re-listening to them all
and so everything below is updated lyrics and you should ignore the ones before this probally.
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
And Jenny screams out and it's no pose
'Cause when she dances she goes and goes
And 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
The summer's all in bloom
The summer is 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
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 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
And on a cloudy day
Well it's more common than you'd think
He's my first mistake
Maybe you were all faster than me
We give 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 it's the five of us
In white houses
And you, maybe you'll remember me
What I gave is yours to keep
In white houses
In white houses
In white houses

Who's To Say
Stand up straight
Do your trick
Turn on the stars
Jupiter shines so bright
When you're around to tell us slow down,
We're too young you need to grow
The speed's the key
And they don't know who we are
And who's to say that we're not good enough?
And who's to say that this is not our love?
Mother don't tell me friends are the ones that I lose
'Cause they'd bleed before you
And sometimes family are the ones you'd choose
It's too late now
I hold on to this life I found
And who's to say we won't burn it out?
And who's to say we won't sink in doubt?
Who's to say that we won't fade to grey?
Who are they anyway? Anyway, they don't know
And you say we're too young, but maybe you're too old to remember
And I try to pretend but I just feel it when we're together
And if you don't believe me, you never really knew us
You never really knew
You and I, packin' up my room, we feel alright
But we're not well comsumed
We'll be drivin', 'cause they don't know who we are
Who's to say we won't stay together?
Who's to say we arn't getting stronger?
Who's to say I can't live without you?
Who are they anyway? Anyway, they don't know
And you say we're too young, but maybe you're too old to remember
And I try to pretend, but I just feel it when we're together
And who is to say?
And who is to say?
And who are they anyway?
Stand up boy, I shine so bright when you're around

Annie
Watch her as she flew deep within the blue
The day out from the county ICU
There's nothing you can do
Someone gently says to you
The doctor says that now it won't be long
I try and live up to the moment, and I hope that I don't blow it
And what is it in me that she hears?
It's just a song she likes
Her little arms around my neck
And a dying girl wispers in my ear
Tell me now, can you feel it?
I've been keepin' company with ghosts
She comes to me like a peice of summer
She comes to me on the days when I need it most
Well summer dies and nothing lasts forever
And you're so fine, the way you stand up to your fears
Well summer dies and its just moments we have together
I'd give my bones for you to get a few more
Years for you and I
Oh Annie
More to life than tryin' to survive
Oh Annie
My boyfriend took pictures of me as I held you
I travel alone and the lonelyness brings me to tears
Well summer dies and it's just moments we have together
And I'd give my bones for you to get a few more
Years for you and I
Oh Annie
More to life than tryin' to survive
Oh Annie
Stronger than the hands that hold you
You sing along to the song on the radio
If I drank too much and I am wreckless
Just this once would you forgive this
And hold on, the days gone by
Tell me now can you feel it?
I can't keep this all to myself
She's eligant and she means it, no
Years for you and I
Oh Annie
More to life than tryin' to survive
Oh Annie
I watch her as she flew deep within the blue
I watch her as she slips away from you
I'll keep fingers crossed always for you
-----------------------------------------------------------
San Francisco
I, I know what you did
Like a boy of summer gives his first kiss
Love is dancing on my finger
He got to the heart of the matter and lingered
And now I'm walking with the living
I always liked steinbeck and those old men whistling
We're back, we're back in San Francisco
We're back, and you tell me I am home
Talkin' in the Mission
Over coffee, this is my utopia
Man, I'll be your lady
As the ocean rises, the sun is fading
We're back, we're back in San Francisco
We're back, we're back in San Francisco
We're back, we're back in San Fran--
And now, I feel the ever after
Over red wine on the eve of summer
The buzz, the buzz of a city
As we settle in it's majesty
I, I know what you did
Like a boy of summer gives his first kiss
We're back, we're back in San Francisco
We're back, and you tell me I am home
You tell me I am home
You tell me I am home
You tell me I am home
Back in San Francisco
And I know what you did in San Francisco
I know what you did to San Francisco
San Francisco

Afterglow
Just when the days start getting colder
I walk the streets I never knew
And theres some words I never told you
The sound rings out like the truth
And if you could see
What's come over me
Then you would know
Cause I'm walkin' free
The wind at my back
Bathed in afterglow
And as I sit here in this dark room
All I seem to feel is light
And I see color
I see the maroon
In the blood of this life that's ours
And if you could see
What's come over me
Then you would know
Cause I'm walkin' free
The wind at my back
Bathed in after--
Watch the sun, it paints an orange sky
And lay me down, and feel the day's gone by
Just when the day
Just when the day
Oh, oh
Just when the days start getting longer
I walk the streets I never knew
And the sun comes out for you
And if you could see
What's come over me
Then you would know
Cause I'm walkin' free
The wind at my back
Bathed in after--
Cause I'm walkin' free
The wind at my back
Bathed in afterglow, oh, oh

Private Radio
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Gotta get a little
Gotta get a little
All the world has gone to bed
And I am drowning in it's silence
But a solitude is in my head, from you, baby
And if the silence was a song
Well, its rhythm grooves and it's a private radio
And on this night I did belong
In harmony
And you can't deny me
And you will oblige me
It's my melody
When the night comes
And no one knows
I can feel it
I've got my private radio
I'm finally out of my pillow
'Cause I'm lyin' here, but I am ready good to go
On a whim, I'll leave this town
Or not, I'll stay and chase the sun
Now, you can't deny me
And you will oblige me
It's my melody
When the night comes
And no one knows
I can feel it
I've got my private radio
Catch me, not care
Call me later
Morning's risin'
All the world has gone to bed
And there's a sound inside my head
And in the dark inside my bed
And the melody it's in my head
(When the night comes)
There's a part of me no one will ever know
(And no one knows)
And midnight comes and I know I'm on my own
(I can feel it)
There's a part of me no one will ever see
(I've got my private radio)
There's a part of me no one will ever leave be
(My private radio)
My private radio
My private radio

Where The Streets Have No Name
I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
I want to feel, sunlight on my face
I see that dust cloud disappear without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building then burning down love
We're burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
The cities a flood
And our love, it turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
We're trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the steeets have no name
Where the steeets have no name
We're still building, then burning down love
We're burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
See all the love, it turns to rust
And we're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, and I see love
I see love, it turns to rust
And we're beaten and blown by the wind
We're blown by the wind
Oh, and I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
-----------------------------------------------------
Winter
Half a week before the winter
The chill bites before it comes
And I'm a child of the pleasure
Daddy brings before he runs
He sits behind a desk of mahogany
He wispers dreams into my ear
And though I've givin him his empire
He delivers me my fear
The unicorns are riding high
Powerful in coats of white
I turn to look and burn my eyes
I carry on, I carry all the weight of empty promise
As I stand swallowed by the light
Flickering above the highway
I hold my head and know the streets are mine tonight
The vampires are growing tired
The coats of white all turn to red
My heart burns with desire
I carry on, I carry on
The unicorns are riding high
Powerful in coats of white
We turn to look and burn our eyes
I carry on, I carry
The vampires are growing tired
The coats of white all turn to red
My heart burns with desire
I carry on, I carry on
I carry on
I carry on
We carry on
------------------------------------------------
C'est La Vie
I've been takin' what your given'
Now I'm thinkin' I've been livin'
The fantasy of your sweet smile
Sad as blue and blue as only
You could cast the color on me
Can you see my fire red?
Mmm... Mmm...
C'est la vie
C'est la vie, here am I lonely
C'est la vie
C'est la vie, here am I lonely without him
Boy you swallow truth like honey
As you spew your lies upon me
Sweet and smooth as it goes down
C'est la vie
C'est la vie, here am I lonely
C'est la vie
C'est la vie, here am I lonely without him
Oh, say you, say me
Say always and forever more
I'll be your perfect little sugar bride
But oh, if you could see
The truth within our perfect harmony
Your melody is bringin' me down
Mmm... Mmm...
C'est la
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
C'est la vie, here am I lonely
C'est la vie
C'est la vie, here am I lonely without him
Without him
Boy you swallow truth like honey
-------------------------------------------------------
Papa
Look up
Look where you wanna be
Look left
Look where he left me
I should've known
By the ice in his eye
But you warm me up with your so sweet demise
And nestled in your calculated moonshine
Boy you give good
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, your sleeve
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, but me
Oh, Papa, oh, Papa, tonight
Papa, oh, I'll be alright
Look left
Look where you wanna be
Look up
Look where he left me
I should've known by the ice in his eye
But you warm me up with your so sweet demise
And nestled in your calculated moonshine
Boy you give good
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, your sleeve
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, but me
Oh, Papa, oh, Papa, tonight
Papa, oh, I'll be alright
-----------------------------------------------------
She Floats
Watchin' puddles gather rain
Theres no better place to lay
Shes as fine as dandelions blowin' in the wind
Shes not thinkin' 'bout anything
She floats
She floats
Floats
Wearin' black patent mary janes
She steps out into the rain
She's as dry as clear blue skies
Swallowin' you whole
God knows secrets though I'm told
She floats
She floats
Floats
...
Cause she's as fine as dandelions blowin' in the wind
Shes not thinkin', she's listening
She floats
She floats
Floats
Floats
She floats
She floats
Floats

The Wreckage
Speeding into the horizon
Dreaming of the sirens
Wishing for broken glass on a highway
It could be so easy
The rhythm, the rhythm of an engine
Always makes me empty
I see the headlights comming at me
I can't help but wonder
Flying, flying in slow motion
The wind through my hair
And ripping through the scenery
Oh, the wreckage
It is my secret need
Oh, speeding into the horizon
Dreaming of the sirens
Wishing for broken glass on a highway
It could be so easy
...
...
everything was updated a little bit except for c'est la via, papa, and the wreckage i think.
