Hometown Girls - The Strypes

I wanna tell you

But I can’t spit it out

Tr tr tr 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 me a fix

I’m craving confidence

I reek of sweat and teenage innocence

I want you so

But I know you’ll never know

Cause I’m too shy for the hometown girls

I wanna tell you but I’m sick with the fright

Sl sl sl 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 duck

I miss that jab but I’m hit with the hook
