Sleeping late on
Warm afternoon
Waking up to
Bright silver moon

Silent words from
My heart to you
My empty filled
Filled up with you

Rockets fly
Rockets fly
I slip another smile in your pocket
My heart is racing to you like a rocket

Rockets fly
Rockets fly
I slip another smile in your pocket
My heart is racing to you like a rocket
The two of us we dream like one
Our energy could light the sun
The two of us take breath as one
The two of us... The two of us...

    General Comment:this song is just the greatest. i like the beginning because it's slow and mellow, but then the song stops for a tense second and the piano and cello come in with one of yellowcard's greatest lines: "I slip another smile in your pocket. My heart is racing to you like a rocket." after the distorted guitar joins in, i at first thought it was too repetative, but then i hear the different layers of voices added to it and the violin riff that comes in and i love it now!

    General Comment:Yeah the "two of us" is the first thing I noticed about this song cause I heard Inside Out first and that was my favorite part of the song. These two songs, for anyone who doesn't know, are on two completely separate albulms. Rocket came first. It makes me think that Inside Out is a post breakup song for the same girl for whom the love song Rocket was written.

    General Comment:Rocket in the pocket..LOL. I don't like the beginning of the song so much but the ending is really good. I like it when yellowcard does that thing when more than one person sings at once. You know, that row row row your boat thing.
