Cavetown - 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
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
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 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 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, 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

Cavetown Rocket Ships Comments
ROCKET SHIPS WILL TAKE OFF WHETHER YOUR IN THEM OR NOT, ITS SAD BUT ITS THE TRUTH THE WORLD WILL STILL WITHOUT YOU WHEN YOUR BONES TURN TO EARTH YOU ASK ME WHAT WAS I WORTH I WILL SIMPLY PLANT A FLOWER ABOVE YOU... YOU CAN WATCH IT GO🥀🤩❤️❤️
Still my favorite Cavetown song to this day-
general kenobi!
Its 3:30 am I can't sleep because of a yeast infection and this song is keeping me from tearing out my vagina
This song gives me memories back fro when I was forced to attend outpatient therapy. It's so beautiful, but it brings back painful memories, and I love it either way. ❤️
This song tells the painful truth.
After we die we are just fertilizer. We had no real impact. This was our purpose. To die and let the flowers grow. Damn.
I'm not having and existential crisis.
I'm not crying shut up
This makes me think of Little Misfortune
it’s true though. the world will still evolve, your parents will grieve, they’ll stop crying every day, and then they’ll go back to work. they’ll miss you, but their life must go on.
Robbie may not be trans but I am and his voice makes me feel like mine is pretty okay too
Me: *chilling*
My brain: 0:50
My depression: what he said
Me: ;-;
I heard this on tik tok (yes I know) and I KNEW it was cavetown
This song makes me feel things
What do you use to make your lyric videos?
I know that most of you came here because you're sad, and I made a poem for the person reading this.
Life is hard
It's also beautiful
See it with your heart
And that'll make it wonderful
Open your eyes
Take a deep breath
Try to relax
But you fall into the world's depth
Tears run from your eyes
The pain you feel is here
There's no stopping it, you've tried
But for you I'm here
There's so many reasons to stay alive
The world doesn't want you to die
I've been where you are
And we can get far
I've cried on a floor
And had lots of pain
But the pain gathered more
And it wasn't the same
But let me tell you a secret
A secret of mine
After getting told I was loved
I started to feel fine
So if you're sad
Or you're alone
Maybe you're hurt
Or feel that nowhere is home
Perhaps you're furious
Or feel you're going mad
Well I'll be here for you
And help make you not be sad
Because dear person reading this
I know that it's tough
But I want you understand
That you are loved
Summarizes my life
This song just makes me so happy and I don't even know why, I just find it so cute and deep at the same time
Song: you could watch it grow
Me (loves the lorax): LET IT DIE
Dad come home
Fuck this is so pretty
2019 anyone??
This song makes me cry every time ugh I’m pathetic
This song is isn’t on Spotify, OR ALEXA. FUCK.
Play this at my funeral
Wow, Robbie really did come a long way... Nevertheless, this song is beautiful. Gold will always be gold, I guess :)
I'm a big cavetown fan, but I came across this song completely by accident... and I'm baffled, because I've been looking for a song like this for several years... I'm been trying to figure out how to convey this exact sentiment, I even came as far as to try and write something of the sort myself... It's really quite amazing, how things happen sometimes.
Did anyone else see the videos that come after a YT vid in the backround?
5:02
All the people saying like, "it would've been so cool if he was trans" or " it's been confirmed, hes not trans🙁" or "hes not trans?! Well that's disappointing" why is him not being trans bad or disappointing?? Is it not better that he was born in the correct body that he feels right in? Instead of having to go through the pain and confusion to get to the right body?
thank you. i hate it when people are like oh my god how hecking cool would it be if he was stuck in someone elses body! YAY! happy fun times. but being trans is awful, and i wouldn't wish that upon anybody.
@holy frick exactly, isnt it so much better that hes in a body that he feels right in?
@Lilli 714 it's a lot better. i'm happy for robbie, and just confused for some of the people in his fanbase, who think that it would be better if he was trans
All though this song has a sad quote "its sad but its the truth, the world will still rurn without you" but when it says "when you ask me what your worth ill simply plant a flower above you" its saying that everyone has a meaning in the end and we are all important and thats what hit me in this
i Cried
Is there a one hour one by any chance?
these lyrics are intense and deep dam
this is the ONLY song that makes me cry. fuck.
Stupid as it sounds this reminds me of my goat Thistle, who died a few days ago. He had fatal stomach issues, and I was sitting with him when he died, my only wish is that we could have gotten him to the vet so it wouldn't have been as painful. I'm feeling a bit better though, and I hope he's happy over the rainbow bridge
My brother listens to this a lot and I thought it was a new song
SO THIS IS MY CRYING SONG
Bruh he sounds *6 years old* in this 😂
my friend sent this to me, i dont really like sad songs, but if she likes it- its worth listening too
Awwww, his voice is so high in this. 😋,
The world will still turn without you but it'll also still burn without you so big oof
Lyrics: “Echo Effect”
Deaf people: 🤠
1:20 - 1:22
I SeE yOu, YoU lItTlE sHiT
The sound of me taking a piss really complimented the song well
who else thinks we’re gonna ruin this planet and we’ll have to go to mars to live but rocketships will go to mars and you’ll be left on earth
This song means so much to me. I just moved from Paris where I had been living for the past 2 years. It’s an experience I will never forget. What meant most to me there were my friends of course. This was a song we often sang. I listened to it a lot then. On the last day of school I had prepared and edited a 9 minute long video of photos and videos of us together with this song in the background. I miss Paris so much, I never even imagined it to be this hard to leave... every time I listen to this song now it makes me cry.
“Would it be okay for me to stay?” 😔
Minus the clicking a very pretty song
This sounds like a 12 yo
I’d love to watch a flower grow and I’d love to see cavetown preform this song
he sounds so younger in this!! <3
Who else listens to this song and realizes their worthless and it wouldn't matter if they die or would have never been born
When i first heard this i thought they said you can watch shit grow..... anybody else??
I didn't because I was looking at the lyrics as I was listening to it for the first time, but it does sound like that sometimes and I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that lmao
No one-
Absolutely no one-
Not a single soul-
Tiktok- HIPPITY HOPPITY YOU ARE NOW MY PROPERTY!!!
“The world will still turn without you”
*Depression has joined the chat*
This song encouraged me to graduate, I’m still crying over it
Does anyone know the ukulele chords?
Just go to Google and search 'rocket ships cavetown use chords'. 💕
@bab uwu thank you 💕
I'm not really into this kind of music but its not terrible??
“The world will still turn without you”
Are you okay, Robbie?
You can watch it gross.
Sounds so baby
I love the line "I'll simply plant a flower above you, and you can watch it grow". It shows that even though life carries on, you were not meaningless. You have and will have an impact on the world, even if you don't see it at first. I would go as far as to say that this is the meaning of the whole song...
The intro makes no sense but I still love
I told my cousin about the songs I listen to (Cavetown and Mxmtoon) and Since most of them are sad which I like Asthetic (Or however u spell that) in them, But my cousin is Depressed and doesn't try to help it at all she isnt keeping it a secret but all she listens to are Depressing/Sucidal songs and I let her listen to this and now she's listening to it which she's into Pop/Rap and things like that ;-;
Anyone in 2019?
How do you dislike this?
🚀 💔
PUT THIS IN FREAKING SPOTIFY
He’s such a precious, talented artist.
I don’t know why people don’t notice it.
Ah yes the only cave town song I h a t e
Deaf man: *Watches this video*
The video: *instrumental*
Deaf man: *rocking out like there's no tomorrow*
Me: nothing could ruin this song.
TikTok: 0:42 Hippity hoppity this is now my property
Brooo I didn’t even know this was Robin until a bit ago! I used to jam to this song
Did anyone else get a little hint of sarcasm
cavetown lyrics make NO sense but also make more sense that anything i've ever heard and explain all of my fears and everything that i think when im sad and it makes me so sad to listen to this but also it kinda helps me process all of my issues so it's like SO good but SO painful lol
That spooky cursor at @1:20
This song H I T M E i need help ;3;
has anyone found this song on Apple music
1:21 a mouse arrow?
TicTok anybody ?
at 1:20 - 1:21 you can see a mouse in the left corner oof
stop making edgy comments
I’ve known about cave town for a solid 2 years, but I never knew all these songs were by him.
Don't mind me just listening to every cavetown song and crying because _why not?_
I swear he’s a girl in the beginning
14 year olds:
🚀 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 💔
Me: I should have normal problems
Also me: *sobs* but rocket ships will take off, whether I'm on them or not!
1:20 I SAW YO MOUSE
Omg I saw it XD
I came here from a klaus from TUA edit on Instagram
I first heard this on SoundCloud and thought it was a cover by someone else 😭
Is he trans? makes no difference to me but im kinda curious cuz of the voice changes.
bacon rapped cats nah he’s cis but he wrote this song when he was a lot younger than now so I guess he just went though puberty lol
I don't think he's ever said if he is or not. People are constantly theorizing about it because of his late voice change and lyrics in a couple of his songs. In my opinion it's no ones business but his and making theories about his private life is hella disrespectful.
I heard this on tiktok. Now i found it accidentally. Never knew it was cavetown
Cavetown implies they are immortal with this song. Seems 'bout accurate.
people only know this song from musically/tiktok :(
Fight Me, Squirrel! i dont think so i remember this song being really popular on it though
Fight Me, Squirrel! i know but i dont think hes on tik tok like making videos
Young Robbins voice make me so happy :)
“Rocket ships will take off, weather your in them or not. And it’s sad but it’s the truth, the world will still turn without you”
I now realize how little I mean to not just the people around me, but to also the world. I feel like if no one ever met me, their lives wouldn’t be all that much different.
Does anyone know the chords for this song?
"Rocket ships will take off, whether you're in them or not. it's sad but its the truth, the world will still spin without you. and when your bones turn to earth, and you ask me " what was I worth" ill simply plant a flower above you. and you can watch it grow" that shit hurt hard.
You should defiantly make a karaoke version to this!! Please do tysvm!!!
