Lyrics
I had you on the phone, I heard you were mine I've been on the run since you walked through the hallway Heard it all before, I don't even mind I'll do anything, pull me in and I'm far away You're right there But I won't say that I'm standing I'm right here, when I see you I panic So scared of the way it might pan out Well I don't wanna say that this was all it was Trying not to stay but that just made it worse I've been keeping my distance But I just wanna know what you're thinking I just can't explain the way it hurts Now that what we had is gone, I don't have the words I'm so bad at playing along, saving my feelings I've been keeping my distance I talked about it last night, thought I was fine Helped you pack your things, put your bags in the hallway Maybe in a past life, problems aside We could make it home, I'd hear you when you're calling You're right there, yeah But I won't say that I'm standing I'm right here, when I see you I panic So scared of the way it might pan out I don't wanna say that this was all it was Trying not to stay but that just made it worse I've been keeping my distance I just wanna know what you're thinking I just can't explain the way it hurts Now that what we had is gone, I don't have the words I'm so bad at playing along, saving my feelings I've been keeping my distance I've been feeling so high on the way down Hope I get another chance 'cause I know I wouldn't Wouldn't let you pass by, wouldn't even think twice Let you out of my mind, I don't even know why I've been feeling so high on the way down Said you treated me bad 'cause you know I couldn't You know I couldn't I don't wanna say that this was all it was Trying not to stay but that just made it worse I've been keeping my distance I just wanna know that you're thinking I just can't explain the way it hurts Now that what we had is gone, I don't have the words I'm so bad at playing along, saving my feelings I've been keeping my distance

After years of being labelled a pop prodigy, Ruel is rewriting his own narrative. The London-born, Sydney-raised singer first broke through as a teenager, but with 'Kicking My Feet' and the upcoming 'Kicking & Screaming', he's embracing big feelings and unapologetic joy. Growing up might just be his best era yet.
There's also Dry Cleaning, Slayyyter, Haute & Freddy, The Itch and more.
Ten new tracks featuring Kenny Beats, M-Phazes and more arrive in June.
He's set to perform at Lollapalooza in South America next March.
“It’s been pretty daunting to offer up this level of honesty," he says.
The new track explores themes of love and letting go.
Ruel has also unveiled a visualiser for 'Hollywood', directed by Bailen Estrada.
There's another track on the way.
Ruel (@oneruel) has shared the second official single from his forthcoming debut album, 'SOMEONE ELSE'S PROBLEM'.
It's one of over 100 new songs he's written over the past two and a half years, apparently.
Ruel is set to hit the UK next month, with a debut album due later this year.
