Air planes
B.o.B Lyrics

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shootin' stars
Can we imagine that airplanes flying at night look like shooting stars

I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now
I have a strong desire for something and wish for it desperately

Yeah, yeah I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
I desperately need something to make my dreams come true

To go back to a place much simpler than this
I want to go back to when life was simpler and less complicated

Cause after all the partying and smashing and crashing
After all the fun and wild times, the craziness comes to an end

And all the glitz and glam and the fashion
All the glamour, fashion, and glitz fades away

And all the pandemonium and all the madness
All the chaos and madness begins to take over

There comes a time when you fade to the blackness
There comes a time when you feel lost and hopeless

And when you're staring at the phone in your lap
When you feel alone, staring at your phone and hoping someone will call

And you hoping but them people never call you back
Hoping someone will respond, but they never do

But that's just how the story unfolds
That's just how life goes sometimes

You get another hand soon after you fold
You get another chance after missing out the first time

And when your plans unravel in the sand
When your plans fall apart and nothing goes as planned

What would you wish for, if you had one chance?
What would you want most if you had only one chance?

So airplane airplane sorry I'm late
I'm saying sorry for being late for my flight

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

If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight and
If I don't make the current flight, I will change to another one

I'll be right back at it by the end of the night
I will be back working towards my dream by the end of the night

Yeah yeah somebody take me back to the days
I wish someone could take me back to a time when things were easier

Before this was a job before I got paid
Before making music was a job and I got paid for it

Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank
Before it was important to have money in my bank account

Yeah back when I was trying to get a tip at subway
I used to work at Subway and hope for customers to leave tips

And back then I was rapping for the hell of it
Back then, I used to rap just for fun

But nowadays we rapping to stay relevant
Nowadays, everyone is rapping to stay relevant and trendy

I'm guessing if can make some wishes out of airplanes
If only we could make wishes and they would come true like shooting stars

Then maybe oh maybe I'll go back to the days
Maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to go back to those better times

Before the politics that we call the rap game
Before the game of rap became more about politics than music

And back when ain't nobody listened to my mix tape
Before anyone even listened to my mix tape

And back before when I tried to cover up my slang
Before I tried to change my slang to be more appealing to others

But this is for the Decatur what's up Bobby Ray
This song is for the city Decatur and for myself, Bobby Ray

So can I get a wish to end the politics
Can I make a wish to end the politics surrounding the rap game?

And get back to the music that started this shit
And go back to creating music for the love of it

So here I stand and then again I say
I stand here now and say again

I'm hoping we can make some wishes outta airplanes
I hope we can make wishes like shooting stars and make our dreams come true

I could really use a wish right now
I really need something to go my way

I, I, I could really use a wish right now
I am really hoping for something good to happen

Like, like, like shootin' stars
Like how shooting stars magically grant wishes

I, I, I could really use a wish right now
I really, really need something good to happen

A wish a wish right now
I desperately need a wish fulfillment
