[Hook: Haley 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)
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: Lupe Fiasco]
Wishes that the world could see
From the position of my girl and me
From the perspective of laying on the hood of a car
Looking up at the stars with all the connections cut
Cause when you stuck, advantages vanishes
Bandages on the damages of what depression does
So quest it cause, who are they to question us?
Beating up our ear drums like Question Love
With all of their requests from above
Press from below, only directions to bus
Thus we laying in the cut on the Cutlass supreme
Looking up at the scene
Hoping it doesn't cut, the fresh and the make up
Get re-fed the lines and reminded of what they mean
The importance of really acting like they important
And if you don't feel 'em you should force 'em now...
[Hook: Haley 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)
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 2: Lupe Fiasco]
Wishes that mend the broken heart
Fill the open palm, pardon my flow and thoughts
My departure from the norm, the parch that's more warm
Walks on from the marching of your armies and the dropping of your bombs
The walking on the waters now stomping on the pond
The ripples now a wave
It can't be peaceful with a pistol in your face
You can't beat the people so you picking on they place
I jump to defend I'm wage with a page
My pen's mightier than them and I got missles on the stage
This couch is for the cowards and stretchers for the brave
And I happily lay upon the bed that I have made
Like house keep, sheets and pillow case
But I don't sleep, dreams keeping me awake
They went up thinking they would never touch the ground
But we gon wish it 'pon 'em on the way back down

Featuring: 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
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 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?
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, 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
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 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 mix tape
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 sink
I'm hopin' we can make some wishes out of 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
I could really use a wish right now
I could really use a wish right now
Like, like, like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now

I grew up where throwing rocks in canyons is not allowed
I grew up where growing up makes me awkward and proud
I grew up where it was a difficult drive to the airport
And I hope you have a good ride
?Cause my mother, you know, she doesn?t like to fly
I grew up where it was a difficult drive to the airport
But I grew up
School, school, swimming pool
I walk barefoot home from school
School, school
And mother, that?s a hard word
The things that you?re leaving
The things that you?re missing
The things you don?t know
And father, that?s a hard word
Things that you?re needing
The things that you?re missing
The things you don?t show
And how happy do you have to be to be happy?
How sad do you have to be to be sad?
And do you have to be sad?
Do you have to be?

Sold myself out for a pocket lies
Into the sea you threw us into the sea
Took yourself out on a holiday
Pay the way I always pay the way
Everybody wants it 9 to 5
Typical lies I said more typical lies
Only wanted to be by your side
You’re making it hard to survive
And these airplanes
Flying in the fast lane
And the push on through
Yeah they push on through
It’s killing me
The weight of your gravity
And we push on through
Yeah we push on through
Cliché Le Chez is just the name I use
Into the sea I threw it into the sea
Underwhelming just a game we play
Come on down you’ll never be set free
Took myself out on a holiday
Pay the way I always pay the way
Only wanted to be by your side
You’re making it hard to survive
And these airplanes
Flying in the fast lane
And the push on through
Yeah they push on through
It’s killing me
The weight of your gravity
And we push on through
Yeah we push on through

I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now, wish right now
I could really use a wish right now
I, I, I could really use a wish right now

Could 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)
I'm prayin' that this stairway leads
Somewhere like heavens door and
When you get there don't look down (don't look down, don't look down)
I remember the first day of school
When you walked right next to me
You taught me everything that I know
And you always knew what to say
Time goes on
Now every word in every damn song
Reminds me of your face
You were part of me (you were part of me)
I didn't know everything I've got
Now I know that you are gone
Feel you right here next to me
Though I know that you've moved on
But the hardest thing of all is knowing
I didn't get to say
You were everything (you were everything)
Could 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)
I'm prayin' that this stairway leads
Somewhere like heavens door and
When you get there don't look down (don't look down, don't look down)
People kill what they don't understand
All the legends they die at the hands of lesser men
Jesus & JFK & Marvin & Biggie Man
I wonder if like after death was ever fair for them
Live in the moment
I was never really one to plan
So many things I wasn't meant ever to understand
What if Alice imagined her trip to wonderland
And why didn't Paul have shoes like the rest of them did
So many memories I passed up when I was away
All the experiences I couldn't ever replace
All the million times my heart a part of it break
I guess I'm harder for the hardships that I had to face
Before every single show I pray 'til I sweat
I give my heart to a thousand people I never met
And then I let it all go, all the pain and regret
Hope God forgive me for the sins that I'm about to commit
don't wanna get by, I wanna excel
I know life is like the crossroads for heaven and hell
Right and wrong, sometimes it's just so hard to tell
but at least I'm saving others if I'm losing myself
Could 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)
I'm prayin' that this stairway leads
Somewhere like heavens door and
When you get there don't look down (don't look down, don't look down)
Airplanes in the night sky
Are like shooting stars

Step One: Sell everything you own.
Buy a ticket out of this town right now.
Step Two: Cut ties with who you knew.
They'll only drag you back to that place that hurt you.
I could write more than three lines about how I hate
every street corner and stop sign.
I wanna get out gotta get out.
I wanna get out of this town right now.
I wanna get out gotta get out get out of this town.
I'm afraid of airplanes but I'm getting on one today.
I wanna leave this place so I'm getting on one.
I hope that they can see my wave up here
in this seat next to outer space.
When you touch down and your feet meet new ground.
Try your best to forget that place.
They say that every towns the same.
Well i beg to differ.

On a runway once again on my way out of town
I think that I'm gettin to use to this and I don't know when I'll be back
Don't know when I'm comin back down
Am I comin back down?
The wheels are up I am stuck staring out of this window
Over the wing and the scariest thing is the fact that I'm practically
Living on planes these days, on these airplanes
So I'm waiting on the landing gear
To bring us down so I can hear your voice
And I'm getting out my cell phone now to speed dial your house
Cause it rains all day when I'm away
And I can't have you with me
And all that I can think about, is how much you love the city
And I want you here with me
There's a canvas of clouds below my feet
I'm painting it homesick because all that I love is behind me
I hope you still find me
Soon I'll be paying for taxis and riding in backseats
On my way back to hotels when I want my own bed
I get these instead
So I'm waiting on the landing gear
To bring us down so I can hear your voice
And I'm getting out my cellphone now to speed dial your house
Cause it rains all day when I'm away
And I can't have you with me
And all that I can think about, is how much you love the city

Have you ever lost someone that you loved? And you only want to hear their voice again Have you ever fallen to your knees begging for the memories you've lost yeah
Have you ever tried to love again But you found yourself feeling the hurt And you only want to live again With him with her
You want to know He's there give me a sign You want to hear Him say
CHORUS That I'll be, waiting for you here And I'll be your memories of love I'll be, waiting for you here where the Clouds of rain and airplanes will never go
Have you ever tried to escape the pain But you dug yourself deeper in it Have you ever tried to run away? But it brought you back to the very same place You want to know He's there give me a sign You want to hear him say
CHORUS
Now don't you worry you'll be fine and I'll be there by your side You're going to make it through The mistakes you've made behind you now its a brand new day and a brand new hour You're gonna make it, you're gonna make it through
I'll be, waiting for you here And I'll be your memories of love I'll be waiting for you here where the Clouds of rain and the airplanes will never go
