1. Gentle Boys
These gentle-boys meet club mix girls
Get all worked up
And write 'em poems
Oh this is how they like to roll
These gentle-boys can't bust a move
On the dancefloor
They don't get loose
Staying at home waiting like fools.

2. Carrie Lacoeur
Oh Miss Carrie Lacoeur
With a name like that
I know you could melt my heart all away
It's cause of your radiance and just like the sun
If I stare too long my eyes are forever stunned
Oh Miss Carrie Lacoeur
Take me for a ride
Yeah we can get out of park anytime
But even though your speech is my ignition spark
I fear the fumes I'd inhale when hearing you talk
And your image is placing a filter on my rhymes
Cause everything I dream of has your face on it
So now the more and more I think I think it's perfect
My pulse is pumping but I need to find a cure
Because my heart would die for you Miss Carrie Lacoeur
Oh Miss Carrie Lacoeur
I rarely see you
In real life and you never have the time
And yet you're still running for miles in my mind
Adrenaline in my system not really mine
Oh Miss Carrie Lacoeur
I'm sick of all this
But I can't quit even now I need a fix
I never understood how you did this to me
Memories manipulated so easily
And I'm not even taking you in through a filter
I dream when it's day and lie awake when it's night
There's a battle and I don't think I can win this fight
My hands are shaking and I need to find a cure
Because I'm addicted to you Miss Carrie Lacoeur
Oh Miss Carrie Lacoeur
With a name like that
I know you could melt my heart all away
Oh Carrie.

3. The Hometown
"Wilson, I just want to go"
You're always talking about
Leaving this town getting out
This place caused you pain for years
Really nothing for you here
And you're counting the days
You're thinking away
The people here broke your heart
You never got that new start
The answer to this problem
Is a new life without them
And you're counting the days
You're thinking away
And you hate this town I know
You're dying, you're dying to go
You say goodbye to your friends
Hey Hometown Girl they loved you so
Memories you put aside
Making way for your new sights
But it doesn't hurt inside
You're feeling, you're feeling just fine
Cause you're counting the days
You're going away
Now you're walking past that street
Where you got your first sweet kiss
You tell me it makes you sick
All that love passed by so quick
Did you know we weren't all like him?
We loved you and you were something
And oh how your heart turns so dim
Cause you're counting the days
You're going away
And you hate this town I know
You're dying, you're dying to go
You say goodbye to your friends
Hey Hometown Girl they loved you so
And you start this life I know
Inside leaving nothing behind
And now you leave this city
Hey did you remember to miss
Did you remember to miss me?
Me and our biggest dreams
Packed away like your clothes so clean
We never had a dance
Hometown boys never get romance
You'll find someone out there
A gentleman with all that care
Like how you imagine
And I am I'm no exception
And yeah you thought this was the truth
The things, the things you never knew
And you hate this town I know so
Your love for here is growing old
And you love this town I know
You're crying, you're crying for home
Upstate it's not quite the same
Nobody up there knows your name
And you try this life I know
Inside everything's left behind
And so you come back to here
Remembering those now so dear
So dear to you and it's true
It took you so long to learn
You never had to start new
Hey Hometown Girl we love you.

4. Familiarity
Whenever I come back home and walk these streets
I remember the days that meant so much to me
But these memories I can't catch so clearly
I think I might've forgotten everything
All the words that I would try to say to you
It feels like they left and left me with nothing
There's a problem and I can't find any trace
I'm turning the room upside down and around
In this state I can almost recall your face
I think I once took a photograph
And all these old thoughts came running back
What happened to the memories we once shared?
They're lost somewhere in my mind somehow
Only captured in this faded photo now
In the process I was unaware
That you took all my memories away
On that final summer day
Every little bit of this town helps me remember
High school flirt track spike dirt and what do I see?
The hearts that were revealed so effortlessly
Maybe this was just a part of your bigger plan
To leave me here after you finished your crush
After I spent my time loving you so much
I think I once took a photograph
And all these old thoughts came running back
What happened to the memories we once shared?
They're lost somewhere in my mind somehow
Only captured in this faded photo now
In the process I was unaware
That you took all my memories away
I can't find the words to say
I hope you find someone to love out there
I hope I'll forget enough not to care
I hope you find someone to love out there
When we come back and breathe the hometown air
You will be so unfamiliar to me
Lost in the chain of memories.
