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
