On summer nights the stars fall a little slower and I don't know if I can catch them in time.

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 no where?

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.

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, 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.

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 trains not leaving for a while.
I packed my 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 its the truth, the world would 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.
