Airplanes Lyrics – B.o.B
Airplanes Lyrics (feat. Hayley Williams of Paramore)
[B.o.B:] 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’re starin’ at that phone in your lap And you’re 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
[Hayley Williams (B.o.B):] 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 (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 (Wish right now) Wish right now (Wish right now)
[B.o.B:] 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 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 could make some wishes outta’ airplanes Then maybe oh maybe I’d 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
[Hayley Williams (B.o.B):] 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 (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 (Wish right now) Wish right now (Wish right now)
[B.o.B (Hayley Williams):] 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) I-I-I-I could really use a wish right now A wish, a wish right now (A wish right now)
