Airplanes ft. B.O.B
Hayley Williams Lyrics

Can we pretend that airplanes In the night sky are like shooting stars?
Can we imagine that airplanes flying in the night sky resemble shooting stars?

I could really use a wish right now Wish right now Wish right now
I am in need of a wish at this moment, and I wish for it repeatedly

Yeah, I could use a dream or a genie or a wish To go back to a place much simpler than this
I desire a dream, genie, or wish to transport me 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
Despite all the partying, glamour, and chaos, there comes a point where you become vacant

And when you starin' at that phone in your lap And you're hopin' but them people never call you back
When you're staring at your phone in your lap, and you hope that certain individuals would call, but they don't

But that's just how the story unfolds You get another hand soon after you fold And when your plans unravel in the sand What would you wish for if you had one chance?
That's just how life plays out sometimes, but you often get another chance. So, if you only had one opportunity, what would you wish for?

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
To the airplane, sorry for my tardiness. Please don't close the gate because I'm en route. If I miss it, I'll catch a later flight, and I'll still make it 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
Bring me back to a time before making music was a career or before I was receiving payment. When the money in my bank account didn't matter, and I was trying to earn a tip while working at Subway

And back before I tried to cover up my slang But this is for the hater, what's up Bobby Ray?
Also, to a time before I attempted to hide my accent. Addressing the critics, greetings, Bobby Ray?

So can I get a wish To end the politics And get back to the music That started this shit?
May I have a wish to rid the music industry of politics and return to the music that initiated this movement?

So here I stand and then again I say I'm hopin' we can make some wishes outta' airplanes
I'm standing here and once more saying that I'm hoping we can make wishes out of airplanes

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)
Again emphasizing the need for a wish, like shooting stars, that he can make right now
