Hometown Girls

I wanna tell you but

I can't spit it out

Tripping on my tongue

And my mouth is stiff

Feels like I'm hanging off the

Edge of a cliff

And my eyes can't pick a pocket

Where they're happy to stick

I'm running from the point babe

I'm missing a trick with you

My line is up but girl

I'm missing my cue

Can't you give a fix?

So I'm craving confidence

I reek of sweat and teenage innocence

But I want you so

But I know you never know

Cause I'm too shy

I'm too shy

For the hometown girls

I wanna tell you but

I'm sick with the fright

Slipping up

I'm caught in the light

Of lust

I get the feeling that you ain't too fussed

My head feels heavy

As the regret sinks in

I shouldn't be afraid to take it

On the chin but I'm duck

I miss the jab but

I'm hit with the hook

Can't you give me a fix?

So I'm craving confidence

I reek of sweat and teenage innocence

But I want you so

But I know you never know

Cause I'm too shy

I'm too shy

For the hometown girls
