Natasha Bedingfield – These Words Lyrics 19 years ago
Why would you ask if it's ok to love someone? Will that change anything? NO..If you love someone then you love them no matter whether it's ok with them, whether they love you back or not..

Vanessa Carlton – White Houses Lyrics 19 years ago
This song is so great but also so scarily like my real life!! I know some people say that Vanessa wasn't describing her own experiences when she wrote this song but that doesn't matter...the song can still mean something!! It means a lot to me..I can listen to it forever in fact I had it on repeat while I read all the previous comments and while I type this!!

So to the actual song:
A lot of the meanings are quite obvious but..

Crashed on the floor when I moved in

So when she moved into this new place she had no bed to sleep on

This little bungalow with some strange new friends

She's sharing the little house with strangers that she sees as new friends

Stay up too late, and I'm too thin

Like every young person still fresh from leaving home she's up partying all night, enjoying herself, her youth, her friends, and she ends up not eating properly, probably having a liquid diet of alcohol and dancing etc all the time

We promise each other it's til the end

Everyone's having so much fun that they dont want it to end and make all sorts of promises, drunken or otherwise

Now we're spinning empty bottles

They're playing drinking games like spin the bottle

It's the five of us

It's five friends (ie story-teller plus 4 friends), probably all girls, that are sitting there in the new house

With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust

And there's hot guys there too that the girls will do nearly anything for, whom they long to trust (as in long term)

I can't resist the day

She can't stop herself from joining in with everything that's going on

No, I can't resist the day

Repeating desire to be part of the group etc

Jenny screams out and it's no pose

One of her friends screams out either laughter, pain or orgasm or something (use the imagination) and it's not a joke

'Cause when she dances she goes and goes

When Jenny gets started on something or someone she doesn't stop for a while

Beer through the nose on an inside joke

Everyone is laughing and the beer is coming out of their noses and it's all fun still

I'm so excited, I haven't spoken

The story-teller is so excited with everything that is going on and she doesn't want to ruin it at all by saying somethign stupid, she's just enjoying herself

And she's so pretty, and she's so sure

The story-teller is a bit jealous of Jenny because Jenny is beautiful and self-confident and the girl doesn't feel she has either of those things and she wants them

Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her

She's trying to comfort herself by thinking of her good aspects like intelligencec but then she thinks am i actually more clever if I can't be self-confident enough to hook a guy?

The summer's all in bloom

It's the height of summer, the funnest part

The summer is ending soon

But it wont last forever so she must act now if she wants to do something

It's alright and it's nice not to be so alone

Her plan begins to work. She starts talking to one of the guys and they share their secrets (remember they're drunk). She tells him she's happy that she has found someone like him so she doesn't feel a loner anymore

But I hold on to your secrets in white houses

She doesn't tell him of her inexperience though or her lack of self-confidence and her beauty issues and jealousy of jenny though

Maybe I'm a little bit over my head

Then she realises she's actually got no clue what she is doing, she's just going with the flow and it's a bit scary

I come undone at the things he said

The things this guy says touch her to her heart. She thinks he's being really sincere. She becomes like putty in his hands for him to play with as he pleases

And he's so funny in his bright red shirt

She's laughing at everything he says and noticing the small details like the colour of his shirt and how it looks on him (she's very drunk)

We were all in love and we all got hurt

Back to the present again she says all of her friends were in love with someone but they all got hurt

I sneak into his car's black leather seat

Back to the memory- She and this guy have sneaked off to his car from some privacy. She's still noticing the tiny details like the black seat

The smell of gasoline in the summer heat

Tiny details again -shes still drunk

Boy, we're going way too fast

She suddenly realises this is the furthest she's ever gone with a guy and that shocks her a little way out of her drunkeness

It's all too sweet to last

Looking back at the memory again from the present she speaks with hind sight of what will happen that she knew nothing of back then

It's alright

She decides that its cool..she likes this guy so they can carry on

And I put myself in his hands

She lets him lead the way in what they are doing

But I hold on to your secrets in white houses

And she still thinks of all the things he's told her and that she will keep it secret for him (the drunken second voice in her mind that is talking her through everything)

Love, or something ignites in my veins

She gets totally aroused and thinks its love because she's so naive but looking back she knows it wasn't love but rather lust or the alcohol or some other stupid thing like adrenaline

And I pray it never fades in white houses

But she loves this feeling and she doesn't want it to fade from her memories

My first time, hard to explain
Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain

Describes losing her virginity. But becuase she was drunk she has only the vaguest memories like the pain and the blood

On a cloudy day, it's more common than you think

Looking back she realises that it's actually quite a common way for girls to lose their virginity. People just don't realsie it

He's my first mistake

After she realises what has happened and that it isn't going anywhere long term. It was a one night thing. It was a mistake but she knows it could probably ahppen agian.

Maybe you were all faster than me

Her friends were all faster than her in becoming experienced with guys so they could stop drunken sex happening cos they can see it coming. The girl had no idea what was going on though (her naivete)

We gave each other up so easily

She gave up her virginity so easily and then she and the guy just let each other go too

These silly little wounds will never mend

Either the physical loss of virginity will never be mended or the emotional scars will never fade or even both. The wounds seem so stupid and trivial but they hurt like hell and they can't be cured

I feel so far from where I've been

She feels so different from who she was before

So I go, and I will not be back here again

But she decides to leave the past where it belongs and move forward with her life. She doesnt want to revisit the pain that she feels right now

I'm gone as the day is fading on white houses

And as the day that all this happens ends, so are the secrets of what ahppened locked inside her and the person she once was has left for an unknown place.

I lie, put my injuries all in the dust

She lies about what happend and how she feels t5o both the guy and ehr friends and her family etc. She buries her pain in the dust of the past (but dust can easily be blown off to reveal what it is hiding)

In my heart is the five of us

In her heart it's her and her four friends the people that she cares for

In white houses

In her secret place

And you, maybe you'll remember me

And the guy, maybe he'll remember what happened and the girl

What I gave is yours to keep

The virginity she gave him he can keep (she actually has no choice cos she cant exactly take it back)

In white houses
In white houses
In white houses

She takes refuge in her secret place inside of her,, her white houses of memories, secrets, feelings that she shares with no one else, that no one else will ever see or hear. She repeats it like a mantra as the one place where she can be herself, no hiding or pretenses. A place to cry, to try to heal, her inner self.

Wow I feel so much better now..but I hope other people can read this and see that I understand and sympathise with them.

Oh and the white houses being teeth was a really cool idea too
