Airplanes lyrics

Can we pretend that airplanes

In the night sky

Are like shooting stars?

I could really use a wish right now

Wish right now

Wish right now

Can we pretend that airplanes

In the night sky

Are like shooting stars?

I could really use a wish right now

Wish right now

Wish right now

Yeah

I could use a dream

Or a genie or a wish

To go back to a place

Much simpler than this

’Cause after all the partyin’

The smashin’ and crashin’

And all the glitz

And the glam and the fashion

And all the pandemonium

And all the madness

There comes a time

When you fade to the blackness

And when you starin’

At that phone in your lap

And you hopin’ but them people

Never call you back

But that’s just how the story unfolds

You get another hand

Soon after you fold

And when your plans

Unravel in the sand

What would you wish for

If you had one chance?

So airplanes, airplanes

Sorry I’m late

I’m on my way

So don’t close that gate

If I don’t make that

Then I switch my flight

And I’ll be right back at it...

Can we pretend that airplanes

In the night sky

Are like shooting stars?

I could really use a wish right now

Wish right now

Wish right now

Can we pretend that airplanes

In the night sky

Are like shooting stars?

I could really use a wish right now

Wish right now

Wish right now

Yeah

Somebody take me back to the days

Before this was a job

Before I got paid

Before it ever mattered

What I had in my bank

Yeah back when I was tryin’

To get a tip at Subway

And back when I was rappin’

For the hell of it

But nowadays we rappin’

To stay relevant

I’m guessin’ that if we can make

Some wishes out of airplanes

Then maybe yo

Maybe I’ll go back to the days

Before the politics

That we call the rap game

And back when ain’t nobody

Listened to my mix tape

And back before I tried

To cover up my slang

But this is for Decatur

What’s up Bobby Ray?

So can I get a wish

To end the politics

And get back to the music

That started this sh*t

So here I stand

And then again I say

I’m hopin’ we can make

Some wishes outta airplanes

Can we pretend that airplanes

In the night sky

Are like shooting stars?

I could really use a wish right now

Wish right now

Wish right now

Can we pretend that airplanes

In the night sky

Are like shooting stars?

I could really use a wish right now

Wish right now

Wish right now

I could really use a wish right now

I, I, I could really use a wish right now

Like, like, like shooting stars

Ah

A wish, a wish right now
