B.o.B – Airplanes

Can we pretend that
Airplanes in the night sky are like
Shooting stars? I could really use a
Wish right now, wish right now
Wish right now, can we pretend that
Airplanes in the night sky are like
Shooting stars? I could really use a
Wish right now, wish right now
Wish right now (Yeah)

I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
‘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
And when you starin’ at that phone in your lap
And you hopin’, but them people never call you back
But that’s just how the story unfolds
You get another hand soon after you fold
And when your plans unravellin’, they’re sayin’
“What would you wish for if you had one chance?”
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 switch my flight
And I’ll be right back at it by the end of the night

Can we pretend that
Airplanes in the night sky are like
Shooting stars? (Shooting stars) I could really use a
Wish right now, wish right now
Wish right now, can we pretend that
Airplanes in the night sky are like
Shooting stars? (Shooting stars) I could really use a
Wish right now, wish right now
Wish right now (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 tryna get a tip at Subway
And back when I was rappin’ for the hell of it
But, nowadays, we rappin’ to stay relevant
I’m guessin’ that if we can make some wishes outta airplanes
Then maybe, oh, maybe I’ll go back to the days (Days)
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 Decatur—what’s up, Bobby Ray?
So, can I get a wish to end the politics? (Oh)
And get back to the music that started this shit?
So here I stand, and then again, I say
I’m hopin’ we can make some wishes out of airplanes

Can we pretend that
Airplanes in the night sky are like
Shooting stars? (Shooting stars) I could really use a
Wish right now, wish right now
Wish right now, can we pretend that
Airplanes in the night sky are like
Shooting stars? (Shooting stars) I could really use a
Wish right now, wish right now
Wish right now

I could really use a wish right now
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I, I, I could really use a wish right now
(Mm) Like, like
Like shooting stars (Ah)
I, I could
I could, I could really use a wish right now
A wish, a wish right now (A wish right now)
