Cavetown - Telescope Lyrics






I'll figure out tonight what it is I need to do
Fabricate a lie and lay it back to you
In my head, it's only letters
Make it make sense to make it better
Mmm...

It's a perfect time to put my money in my mouth
Chew it up and spit it directly on the ground
Make some plans I'll never get to
Shake some hands at the venue
Mmm...

Sittin' in a telescope
Silently, with his fingers entwined
He puts his hand to the glass
"What's it like outside?"
Mmm...("What's it like outside?")
("What's it like outside?")

Through the winds, it's dark, single-digit on the clock
Singing "Yessiree, I sure like-a you a lot"
All I need is to get her
She'll be happy if you let her
Mmm...

Sittin' in a telescope
Silently, with his fingers entwined
He puts his hand to the glass
"What's it like outside?"
"What's it like outside?"
Ooh, "What's it like outside?"

    I'll figure out tonight what it is I need to do
    Fabricate a lie and relay it back to you
    In my head, it's only letters
    Make it make sense to make it better
    Mm, mm, mm
    It's a perfect time to put my money in my mouth
    Chew it up and spit it directly on the ground
    Make some plans I'll never get to
    Shake some hands at the venue
    Mm, mm, mm
    Sittin' in a telescope
    Silently, with his fingers entwined
    He puts his hand to the glass
    What's it like outside?
    Mm (what's it like outside?)
    (What's it like outside?)
    Through the winds, it's dark, single-digit on the clock
    Saying, yessiree, I sure like-a you a lot
    All I need is to get her
    She'll be happy if you let her
    Mm, mm
    Sittin' in a telescope
    Silently, with his fingers entwined
    He puts his hand to the glass

  54. L.... F....

    God it makes me so happy seeing how far Robbie has come! I remember watching him just singing in his room to 21 Pilots and look at this boi now! A really professional video and sounding hella great, you need some merch with this on it, I need mooore! ♥️♥️♥️

    Not even kidding, my favorite artist. 👌♥️

  55. H.... S....

    What were they thinking when they filmed this

  56. R.... I....

    0:38 i love it

  57. T.... ....

    still get chills!! this video is so good but how did you open your eyes underwater? didn’t that hurt?

  58. T.... M....

    "What's it like outside?"
    Me

  59. J.... S....

    1:03 "mom said it's my turn on the DS"

  60. N.... D....

    Robin casually wears a fishbowl on his head and I am over here wondering if it’s fine to put stickers on a hydro flask.

  61. b.... a....

    my little boy became a man! your voice sounds amazing!!!!

  62. E.... M....

    this music video got so dark (in my opinion)
    since drowning is often known as an analogy for depression, and towards the end robbie looks like he’s fighting to get out of the fishbowl, alike to how a depressed person fights their mind to be happy

    i dunno

    this is just what i kinda saw

  63. S.... ....

    Everyone: (deep meaningful comment, well structured)

    Me: *fishbowl minion drowning star man*

  64. R.... S....

    I love that frame.

    Reminds me of mid90’s.

  65. t.... a....

    se acelerar um pouquinho fica perfeito dms pqp

  66. J.... N....

    you are the best singer ever

  67. T.... K....

    That little boing-y riff reminds me of animal crossing

  68. H.... D....

    I remember the 7k cake making video being put up and listening to all the old songs on bandcamp before Spotify and wow it’s been so cool to watch things just get better and better

  69. M.... P....

    Gamers: "What's it like outside?"

  70. M.... D....

    saw him live last week-this song felt like a dream

  71. Y.... N....

    Aaaaaaa this is so good. I gotta say I've been a fan for a while, and this does not disappoint! Not one bit!

  72. �.... �....

    omg it's the most beautiful video i'v ever seen in my life.. keep up❤️

  73. y.... ....

    I personally love this song, good job robbie- 👏
    Welp enjoy-

    I'll figure out tonight what it is i need to do,
    fabricate a lie and relay it back to you..
    In my head it's only letters,
    Make it make sense to make it better..
    🌸
    It's a perfect time to put my money in my mouth,
    Chew it up and spit it directly on the ground
    Make some plans i'll never get to,
    Shake some hands at the venue..
    🌺
    Sittin' in a telescope,
    Silently with his fingers entwined,
    He puts his hand, to the glass..
    "What's it like outside..?"
    ( "what's it like outside?" )
    ( "What's it like outside?" )
    🐚
    Through the winds it's dark, single digit on the clock
    Sayin' "yessieree, i sure like-a you alot."
    All i need is to get her..
    She'll be happy if you let her..

    Sittin' in a telescope..
    Silently,
    With his fingers entwined:
    He puts his hand to the glass,
    "Whats it like outside?-"
    ... "What's it like outside?-"
    Ohhh..
    "What's it like ..outside? "

  80. F.... ....

    Amazing Song

  81. I.... O....

    I feel like a clow i have a friend and she had to move and i thought she was a really good friend and i found out that she didint like me or my friends "her friends and her bf" and reading that made me sad i was try to talk to her before and. Cant think about it or i feel like crying because i wanted to talk to her before to think she didint even like me in the begging

  82. P.... ....

    This song is honestly so nice. I honestly want to draw something like Robbie with the little fish bowl astronaut outfit. Yep. That’s now my new goal.

  83. b.... ....

    You should come to Malta

  84. t.... ....

    come to chicago!! i would LOVE to see you perform i adore your music!! :)

  85. x.... D....

    *lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her cloths off music video vibes*

  86. B.... D....

    I found you years ago from a twenty one pilots cover, and stayed because your original music is so cool! Not only that, but I always agreed with your chats, and have been so conflicted in my own personality. I never knew why your music resonated with me so well, but recently, I’ve also discovered that I’m aromantic, which is a term I first heard when you mentioned it. Robbie, you’re such an inspiration to me, and I really hope for the best to your career!

  87. M.... K....

    bruh this music video is just.....gorgeous....i have nothing else to say

  88. V.... M....

    Everytime I hear this song I feel like I am under water and my problems are just bubbles going away

  89. �.... ....

    Director- How much upside down fish tank astronaut do you want in the video?
    Robin- yes

  90. B.... B....

    uwuwuwuwu

  91. C.... M....

  92. C.... F....

    Oh my god oh my god our boy looks so much older I cried

  94. l.... l....

  95. P.... P....

    At his Missouri concert, someone had a seizure and he just stopped everything and say on the edge of the stage until the kid was wheeled out. Robbie is my favorite person on this earth

    P.... P....
