Paul Russell
Youth
[Verse 1: Paul Russell]
Serenades with the wrong verse
I saw a couple doing drugs at my concert
Do you know me at all
Sometimes I feel like an imposter
They can't be listenin to this
I think I wrote it in my boxers
It's with cursive, puttin nothin up for purchase
And everybody bumps you or they ask you if it's worth it
And it isn't on the the surface
But a couple tunes did it for a person
If I made them feel connected maybe that's a worthy service
But I'm right here, playing something for the crowd
You ain't never know the lyrics, not then, not now
When I'm 50, Imma talk about the kids downtown
In the mosh pit bumping to my pitched down sound
With the mix up loud, and them hips outbound
And the time of being reckless on the big countdown
I admit, I found something real
I do it for the kids right now, for the feels
And I've been tryna' get my head straight for practice
Come to terms with how I won't date an actress
Man that's money for my music and taxes
But I made a little magic, and that's this

[Chorus: Paul Russell & Jet Trouble]
I'm falling sideways
I guess it's all I ever do
Always the problem with the youth
I'm falling sideways
I guess it's all I ever do
Always the problem with the youth
[Verse 2: Jet Trouble]
Sipping whiskey from a bottle I don't need though
Out here runnin' round the court like I just missed a free throw
And I ain't got no money 'cause I've put it into music
So she wants something fancy have to tell her i can't do it
And i never had an issue doin' that
I think I'd rather take a risk and then no matter of fact
My friends were smoking weed while I was writing all my tracks
No matter where they go they know I always call them back
I wonder if they get the point of what I'm doing here
I wonder if I'm going to be doing this in 20 years
And have a kid save the music when I disappear
And if they love the way I told it, if they didn't care
Gotta get my head straight for practice
Come to terms with how I won't date an actress
Man that's money for my music and taxes
But I made a little magic, and that's this

[Chorus: Paul Russell & Jet Trouble]
I'm falling sideways
I guess it's all I ever do
Always the problem with the youth
I'm falling sideways
I guess it's all I ever do
Always the problem with the youth
I'm falling sideways
I guess it's all I ever do
Always the problem with the youth
I'm falling sideways
I guess it's all I ever do
Always the problem with the youth
