Treistemm - Rocket Ships Lyrics

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
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
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
That tell me I ain't 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 ain't 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 will 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
Would it be okay for me to stay?
If okay is here, then I'm far away
The train's not leaving for a while
I've 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
'Till 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 will 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
Yeah, you can watch it grow
Watch it grow, you can watch it grow
