Airplanes
Eminem ft B.o.B feat. Hayley Williams Lyrics

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shootin' stars
Can we imagine that every plane gliding in the sky at night looks like a shooting star?

I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now
I desperately need a wish to be granted right now, right now, right now.

Yeah, yeah I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
I wish I had a dream or a genie because I need a wish.

To go back to a place much simpler than this
I want to go back to a time when things were much simpler than they are now.

Cause after all the partying and smashing and crashing
With all the noise, chaos, destruction, and parties,

And all the glitz and glam and the fashion
And all the glamour and fashion,

And all the pandemonium and all the madness
And all the craziness and chaos,

There comes a time when you fade to the blackness
There's a moment when everything seems to fade away into darkness.

And when you're staring at the phone in your lap
When you're staring at your phone and waiting for someone to call you back,

And you hoping but them people never call you back
And you're hoping they will return your call, but they never do,

But that's just how the story unfolds
But that's usually how things happen.

You get another hand soon after you fold
You get another chance after you give up.

And when your plans unravel in the sand
When your plans fall apart like sand,

What would you wish for, if you had one chance?
What would you ask for if you had one chance to wish for something?

So airplane airplane sorry I'm late
I'm sorry I'm late; I'm on my way.

I'm on my way so don't close that gate
Please don't close the gate; I'm on my way.

If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight and
If I don't make it, I'll change my flight and try again later.

I'll be right back at it by the end of the night
I'll try again later tonight if I fail this time.

Yeah yeah somebody take me back to the days
I wish someone could take me back to the days when things were simpler and more carefree.

Before this was a job before I got paid
Before music became a job, and I started earning money from it.

Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank
Before having money in my bank account ever became an important thing.

Yeah back when I was trying to get a tip at subway
Back when I was working at Subway and trying to earn a tip from customers.

And back then I was rapping for the hell of it
Back when I used to rap just for fun or because I enjoyed it.

But nowadays we rapping to stay relevant
But nowadays, we rap to stay relevant in the industry.

I'm guessing if can make some wishes out of airplanes
If we can make wishes on airplanes, I'll try to make mine come true.

Then maybe oh maybe I'll go back to the days
Maybe, just maybe, I can go back to the simpler times if my wish is granted.

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

And back when ain't nobody listened to my mixtape
When nobody cared about listening to my mixtape.

And back before when I tried to cover up my slang
Before I tried to hide or change my slang in my music.

But this is for the Decatur what's up Bobby Ray
This is for Decatur, Georgia; what's up Bobby Ray (B.o.B)?

So can I get a wish to end the politics
Can I get a wish that ends the politics and drama in the rap industry?

And get back to the music that started this shit
And go back to the music that began all of this.

So here I stand and then again I say
So I am here and again I say,

I'm hoping we can make some wishes outta airplanes
I wish we can make wishes on airplanes to make things right.

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

I, I, I could really use a wish right now
I could surely use a wish now more than ever.

Like, like, like shootin' stars
Like a shooting star, I hope my wish comes true.

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

A wish a wish right now
I am asking for a wish right now.
