Airplanes
[mp3ex.net]B.o.B feat Hayley Williams Lyrics

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shootin' stars
Can we imagine that planes in the dark sky resemble shooting stars

I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now
I desperately need to make a wish at this moment

Yeah, yeah I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
I wish for a dream, genie, or other wish fulfillment entity

To go back to a place much simpler than this
I want to return to a simpler time and place in life

Cause after all the partying and smashing and crashing
Following all the wild partying and crashing events

And all the glitz and glam and the fashion
And the flashy and fashionable lifestyle

And all the pandemonium and all the madness
And amidst all the chaos and madness

There comes a time when you fade to the blackness
A time comes when you are left in darkness

And when you're staring at the phone in your lap
When you find yourself gazing at your phone

And you hoping but them people never call you back
And you hope that the people you contacted will never call you back

But that's just how the story unfolds
That's just how the story plays out

You get another hand soon after you fold
You'll get another opportunity right after losing one

And when your plans unravel in the sand
If your plans fall apart like sand

What would you wish for, if you had one chance?
What would you desire, given a single chance?

So airplane airplane sorry I'm late
Apologies for being late, plane plane

I'm on my way so don't close that gate
I'm on my way, don't shut the gate just yet

If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight and
If I don't arrive in time, I'll change my flight and

I'll be right back at it by the end of the night
I'll still make it happen by the night's end

Yeah yeah somebody take me back to the days
Take me back, take me back to the olden days

Before this was a job before I got paid
Before this became a job, before earning money

Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank
Before the value of what I had in the bank mattered

Yeah back when I was trying to get a tip at subway
When I was hoping for a tip while working at Subway

And back then I was rapping for the hell of it
Back in the day when I was just rapping for fun

But nowadays we rapping to stay relevant
Nowadays, we make music to stay current

I'm guessing if can make some wishes out of airplanes
I guess we can try to make wishes on airplanes

Then maybe oh maybe I'll go back to the days
Perhaps I could return to the olden days

Before the politics that we call the rap game
Before the current rap scene's political nature

And back when ain't nobody listened to my mixtape
Back when no one was listening to my music compilation

And back before when I tried to cover up my slang
When I was hiding my way of talking/lifestyle

But this is for the Decatur what's up Bobby Ray
This song is for Decatur, hi Bobby Ray

So can I get a wish to end the politics
Could I make a wish to halt politics

And get back to the music that started this shit
And return to the music that began it all

So here I stand and then again I say
So here I am, and I'll say once more

I'm hoping we can make some wishes outta airplanes
Hoping that we can make wishes on airplanes

I could really use a wish right now
I truly and desperately need a wish at present

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

Like, like, like shootin' stars
Just like they're shooting stars

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

A wish a wish right now
I need a wish immediately
