Rocket Ships

Cavetown Cavetown

On summer nights the stars fall a little slower and
I don't if I can catch them in time to sew words
Delicately to the palm of my hand, tell me
What am I worth?
Do you see words written in the air
Or is it just me forming pictures from nowhere
I have funny little comic books taped to my hands
And a brain within a brain, it's got a mind of it's own, yeah

Rocket ships will take off whether you're in them or not
And it's sad but it's the truth, the world would still turn without you
But when your bones turn to earth and you ask me: What was I worth?
I'll simply plant a flower above you, and you can watch it grow
You can watch it grow, you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow

On summer nights my thoughts form a little vaguer and
I don't know how to arrange them or put them into words
Now I'm leaving bashful teardrops in my hands
Please tell me I'm a man
Do you think aliens in outer space
Think that they're the only human race
My mind's a house of magic cards about to blow away, yeah
I'm just a shoot and I'm not ready to grow yet

Rocket ships will take off whether you're in them or not
And it's sad but it's the truth, the world would still turn without you
But when your bones turn to earth and you ask me: What was I worth?
I'll simply plant a flower above you, and you can watch it grow
You can watch it grow, you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow

Would it be okay for me to stay
If okay is here then I'm far away
And the train's not leaving for a while
I packed by bags but they've emptied themselves somehow
The thought of meaning something just makes my brain
Twist, invert and fall down sideways
But my voice is a spark so let me sing
'Til the fire's so bright it's deafening

Rocket ships will take off whether you're in them or not
And it's sad but it's the truth, the world would still turn without you
But when your bones turn to earth and you ask me: What was I worth?
I'll simply plant a flower above you, and you can watch it grow
You can watch it grow, you can watch it grow, you can watch it grow
