Boys From Town - Alaska Reid

I know you’re bored, but I’m anxious tonight

Take me by my old house this year one last time

I need a friend but you just want to

Kiss me hard to feed what’s hungry

I try and tell you something real

While you throw bottles in the creek

There’s nothing to do here

But you can drink until you drown

Surrounded by women and rivers to occupy your hands now

Keeping them around

But never getting quite enough

Boys from town

These boys from town

Keeping them around

We’ll never get close to love

Boys from town

These boys from town

I’m leaving tomorrow but I’m back when winter comes

When these constellations of couples fall out of love

The mayfly hatch is dead and the tourists

And your summer job is done

I try and tell you something real

But you just stay withdrawn

There’s nothing to do here

But you can drink until you drown

Surrounded by women and rivers to occupy your hands now

Keeping them around

But never getting quite enough

Boys from town

These boys from town

Keeping them around

We’ll never get close to love

Boys from town

These boys from town

Keeping them around

But never getting close to love

Boys from town

These boys from town
