Airplanes
Cobus - BOB ft. Hayley Williams Lyrics

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

I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now
I would really benefit from a wish at this moment, a wish right now.

Yeah, yeah I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
Yes, I would appreciate a dream, a genie, or a wish to remedy my current situation.

To go back to a place much simpler than this
To return to a time that was less complicated than my current situation.

Cause after all the partying and smashing and crashing
Because after all the partying and risky behavior.

And all the glitz and glam and the fashion
And all the superficial qualities like fashion and design.

And all the pandemonium and all the madness
And all the chaos and havoc.

There comes a time when you fade to the blackness
There will be a moment where you fade to the darkness and lose hope.

And when you're staring at the phone in your lap
When you're looking down at your phone waiting for someone to call you back.

And you hoping but them people never call you back
You're hoping they will call you back but they never do.

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

You get another hand soon after you fold
You get another opportunity soon even after you give up on one.

And when your plans unravel in the sand
When your plans fall apart.

What would you wish for, if you had one chance?
What is the one thing you would wish for if you had the chance?

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

I'm on my way so don't close that gate
I'm coming, so don't leave yet.

If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight and
If I miss the plane, I will change flights and...

I'll be right back at it by the end of the night
I will be back on track soon enough tonight.

Yeah yeah somebody take me back to the days
Please take me back to the good old days.

Before this was a job before I got paid
Before making music became a career and a source of income.

Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank
Before how much money I had in my bank account became important.

Yeah back when I was trying to get a tip at subway
When I was trying to get a tip for my work at Subway.

And back then I was rapping for the hell of it
When I was just rapping for fun and not for fame.

But nowadays we rapping to stay relevant
But now, we're rapping to stay relatable and important.

I'm guessing if can make some wishes out of airplanes
I'm guessing if you can make wishes on airplanes...

Then maybe oh maybe I'll go back to the days
Then maybe, just maybe, I can go back to the good old days.

Before the politics that we call the rap game
Before the drama and competitiveness of the rap industry.

And back when ain't nobody listened to my mix tape
When nobody listened to my music.

And back before when I tried to cover up my slang
When I tried to hide my natural speaking mannerisms.

But this is for the Decatur what's up Bobby Ray
But this song is dedicated to Decatur and Bobby Ray.

So can I get a wish to end the politics
So I wish for the end of the drama and politics.

And get back to the music that started this shit
And return to the music that originally began this career.

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

I'm hoping we can make some wishes outta airplanes
I hope we can make wishes on airplanes like we imagined before.

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

I, I, I could really use a wish right now
I could really benefit from a wish right now.

Like, like, like shootin' stars
Like the shooting stars we imagined airplanes to be.

I, I, I could really use a wish right now
Once again, I could really use a wish right now.

A wish a wish right now
I need a wish right now.
