Rocket Ships by Treistemm Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
You can watch it grow
You can watch it grow
You can watch it grow
[Verse 2]
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 lеaving bashful teardrops in my hands
That tell me I ain't a man
Do you think aliеns 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 shooting star and I'm not ready to grow yet
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
You can watch it grow
You can watch it grow
You can watch it grow
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
You can watch it grow
You can watch it grow
You can watch it grow
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
You can watch it grow
You can watch it grow
You can watch it grow
[Verse 2]
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 lеaving bashful teardrops in my hands

[Bridge]
You can watch it grow
You can watch it grow
You can watch it grow

You can watch it grow
You can watch it grow
You can watch it grow
