Airplanes (feat. Hayley Williams of Paramore)

B.O.B , HAYLEY WILLIAMS

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky are like shootin′ stars?
I could really use a wish right nowWish right now, wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky are like shootin' 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 partying and smashing and crashing
And all the glitz and glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time when you fade to the blackness
And when you're staring at the phone in your lap
And you hoping 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 unravel in the sand
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'll 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 shootin' stars? (Shootin′ 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 shootin' stars? (Shootin' 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 trying to get a tip at Subway
And back then I was rapping for the hell of it
But nowadays we rapping to stay relevant
I′m guessing that if we can make some wishes outta airplanes
Then maybe yo′, maybe I'll go back to the days

Before the politics that we call the rap game
And back when ain′t nobody listened to my mixtape
And back before I tried to cover up my slang
But this is for the Decatur what's up Bobby Ray
So can I get a wish to end the politics
And get back to the music that started this sh-
So here I stand and then again I say
I′m hoping we can make some wishes outta airplanes

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky are like shootin' stars? (Shootin′ 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 shootin' stars? (Shootin' 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
Like, like, like shootin′ stars (oh-oh-oh-oh)
I, I, I could really use a wish right now
A wish, a wish right now
