The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?

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

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?

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

Cuz after all the partying, and the smashing and the crashing, and all the glitz and the 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 that phone in your lap

And you're 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 shooting stars?

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

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?

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

Get back to when I was trying to get a tip at subway

And back when I was rapping for the hell of it

But nowadays we rappin to stay relevant

I'm guessing that if we could make some wishes out of airplanes then maybe oh maybe I'd go back to the days

Before the politics that we call rap game

And back to when ain?t nobody listened to my mix tape

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 shit

So here I stand and then again I say I'm hoping we could 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, a wish right now, a wish right now

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?

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

I could really use a wish right now, right now

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

Like, like, like shooting stars, stars

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

A wish, a wish right now
