On summer nights the stars fall a little slower and
I don't know if I can catch them in time
Sow words delicately to the palm of my hands
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 that's got a mind of its 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 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
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
Summer nights make 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 student 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 will still turn without you
And 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
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 is not leaving for a while
I packed my bags but they have emptied themselves somehow
The thought of meaning something just makes my brain
Twist and burn and fall down sideways
But my voice is a spark so let me sing
Till the fire is 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
And 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
You can watch it grow
You can watch it grow
You can watch it grow
