Airplanes

[Hook – Hayley Williams] 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 [Verse 1] Yo, I could use a dream or a genie or a wish To go back to a place much simpler than this Because after all the partying and smashing and crashing 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 staring at that 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 But 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 [Hook] [Verse 2 ] 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 Back when 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 out of airplanes Then maybe oh 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 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 shit So here I stand and then again I say I'm hoping we can make some wishes out of airplanes [Hook]
