Airplanes (feat. Hayley Williams of Paramore)

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 in 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 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 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

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 hopin' we can make some wishes outta 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-oh)

I-I-I could really use a wish right now (hmm-hmm)

Like, like, like shooting stars (oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

I-I-I-I could really use a wish right now

A wish, a wish right now (a wish right now)
