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, a wish right now

Beautiful queen, I see you every night in my dreams

Under a purple sky holdin' a forbidden nectarine

I wake up every day and try to tell you how I feel

I wrote you a letter but the envelope is still sealed

And every day passin' is another wave crashin'

Another bold move that I forgot to make happen

So the undertoe is takin' you away with the tide

While I'm on the sand and my hand's wavin' goodbye

Yeah, and it seems so inefficient to me

I wasn't wishin' to be, another fish in the sea

'Til I heard a storm comin' and I saw the sky open

And then a saint from above fell into my ocean

Now I can see the heavens, I don't have to know astronomy

And so I hope you follow me into my oceanography

And fly to the horizon while I got you fantasizin'

I could take you to the moon so we could watch the planet risin'

Cause today somebody told me I should look to the sky

They said that mercury and mars are visible to the eye

And the last time that happened was in 1925

You know that crazy things happen whenever the planets align

And maybe it's a sign, but I would like a shooting star

Cause like mars, even though you're visible, you're still far

And I just really wanna bring the light back

I was on the right track up until the light cracked

If I had it for a second, I would seal it in a bag

It would be my lava lamp when I be chillin' in my pad

And nothing could be realer than the feelings that I have

When I'm starin' at the ceiling and I'm feelin' kinda sad

And I feel it's kinda bad, all of this time achin'

Waitin' patiently for my phone to be vibratin'

So I'm wishin' that you call, yo I slumber and I dream

And I'm hopin' I'm awoken by your number on my screen

Close your eyes, picture us together at the top

Hold my hand baby and we'll jump off of the rocks

Ropeswing into the gorge, we can hold the same knot

I don't ever want this moment to stop

But I know it doesn't last forever so I wish I had a camcorder

So I could film you blowin' me kisses under the water

We hold each other close, like we're on the same team

It's you and I floatin' down the stream, we just drift

Further down the river like incubus

Wonderin' if my transmission was aqueous

If we had to separate and take another lover

Could we ever meet again and share what we have both discovered?

This river has a tendency to rearrange its particles

And suddenly we're at the lover's tunnel at the carnival

In the swan ride, and I'm starin' at your lips

Cause I really wanna give you a kiss, like this…

But then you disappear and the swan stops

And I'm in my dorm room starin' at my alarm clock

I really hate the feeling when I have a happy dream

And I wake up in the morning and curse my reality

So the next time I have it I'mma seal it in a bag

It'll be my lava lamp when I be chillin' in my pad

And nothing could be realer than the feelings that I have

When I'm starin' at my ceiling and I'm feelin' kinda sad

And I feel it's kinda bad, all of this time achin'

Waitin' patiently for my phone to be vibratin'

And I've found that whenever I'm lyin' down on my mattress

In my rapid eye movie, you're always the main actress

So I look for shootin' stars when in pain

Hopin' that the airplanes are fair game

Cause if I had one wish that I could speak

I would ask to be the last thing you think about before you fall asleep
