i never seem to get where i need to be on time
& when i'm there i don't know when to leave
maybe isaac newton could have told me why i'll do it again
i knew your voice before your face
i wish they told us half as much about it at 8
as act your age, don't talk to strangers,
stay in school, don't mess around with drugs
i can't help you i can barely help myself
how could i love you? you could find anybody else
i can't help you i can barely help myself
how could i love you? you could find anybody
would you think i'm weird?
why am i still here?
why am i still listening?
i'm good as five-foot-eleven, guess it could be worse
still i'm using every inch by the second verse
it's hard to be invisible standing on the tip of your toes
a little louder until it all comes out
too familiar with the killer that you sing about
to think i almost stopped to talk
"i like your songs, your voice, your band"
i'm out of here
i can't help you i can barely help myself
how could i love you? you could find anybody else
i can't help you i can barely help myself
how could i love you? you could find anybody
would you think i'm weird?
why am i still here?
why am i still listening to you?

These songs sound like growth.

[@MKJwhoa]

I love the format of these videos. It has the vibe of friend wanting to have you listen to a song that they've made but they don't want to sit there and watch you listen to it. So they walk way after pressing play, but as soon as the song is over they come back cuz they want to know what you think of it. Watching these videos for the first time, I feel like that friend. Thanks for making the sharing of your music feel so personal. Also, this is probably my favorite song from you in a while.

Agreed

[@KianaCatangay]

[@codiejagger]

This reminds me of petrichor, scuffed knees and dirty shoes, playing with your friends in the street in the summer as the sun set. That playful innocence of being young 💛

[@EvelinKivi]

so goood. Also for some reason I can hear Tessa covering this in my head.

[@sigh9913]

Been a while my dude. Used to be so obsessed with your music. Hope you’re doing well

[@MsAstrokitty]

Hey rusty! I want to thank you for all of your music. I just lost my boyfriend to overdose but your music always floated along with our relationship and I just want to say a big thank you!

[@hannahmoorehughes]

the one thumbs down is isaac newton

[@TheLanaWhite]

Gottfried Leibniz is the second. He was jealous he got no mention.

[@JamalAhmadMalik]

And perhaps other came for Mendel.

[@jeghours2683]

[@SequoiaVanEkeren]

[@helenaquainton1962]

I have missed your laid-back music and hazy, boy-next-door voice. Adore this song and really resonates with my - and probably most others - life. Yes Rusty!

[@katesharpe6119]

Woah. When all the instruments kicked in, all the hairs on my skin stood up. This song is my new summer song. Keep being amazing Rusty 💛💛 P.s the soft vocals and guitar at the end was wonderful.

[@reeseorta3052]
