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 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 (x3) 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 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 (x3) 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 (x3)
