Airplanes
B.O.B Hayley Williams Wumbaloo Lyrics

Can we pretend that airplanes In the night sky are like shooting stars?
Can we imagine that planes flying at night look like shooting stars?

I could really use a wish right now Wish right now Wish right now
I need a wish granted immediately

Yeah, I could use a dream or a genie or a wish To go back to a place much simpler than this
I want to escape to a simpler time and place

'Cause after all the partyin' and 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 where you fade to the blackness
After all the crazy partying and chaos, there's a point where you feel empty and lost

And when your plans unravel in the sand What would you wish for if you had one chance?
When your plans turn to dust, what would you ask for if you had only one wish?

And when you're starin' at that phone in your lap And you're hopin' but them people never call you back But that's just how the story unfolds
When you're waiting for someone to call but they never do, that's just how things happen sometimes

You get another hand soon after you fold And when your plans unravel in the sand
When you lose, you get another chance to win

So airplane, airplane, sorry I'm late I'm on my way so don't close that gate If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night
I'm coming on a plane, so please don't close the gate. If I miss it, I'll take another flight and be there by the end of the night

Yeah, 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
Take me back to the days when music was pure and I wasn't doing it just for money. Back when I worked at Subway and struggled to make money

But nowadays we rappin' to stay relevant I'm guessin' that if we can make some wishes outta' airplanes Then maybe yo maybe I'll go back to the days
Now we make music to stay relevant, but maybe if wishes can come true from airplanes, I'll go back to my pure music roots

Before the politics that we call the rap game And back when ain't nobody listen to my mixtape And back before I tried to cover up my slang But this is for the hater, what's up Bobby Ray?
Before the politics and competition of the rap industry, nobody listened to my music. I didn't try to change my slang, but this message is for my haters

So can I get a wish To end the politics And get back to the music That started this shit?
I wish for an end to the industry politics and a return to the music that inspired me

So here I stand and then again I say I'm hopin' we can make some wishes outta' airplanes
I stand by my wish for airplanes to grant us our wishes

I could really use a wish right now (oh, oh-oh oh) I, I, I could really use a wish right now Like, like, like shootin' stars (oh, oh oh) I, I, I could really use a wish right now A wish, a wish right now (A wish right now)
I need a wish granted right now, like shooting stars, to help me reach my dreams
