Lyrics

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But you just stay withdrawn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, oh
