Airplanes

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 praying that this stairway

Leads somewhere like Heaven's 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, now)

I'm praying that this stairway

Leads somewhere like Heaven's door

And when you get there, don't look down (Don't look down, Don't look down)

And all the people say,

Iiii Iiii Iiii Ha

And all the people say,

Iiii Iiii Iiii Uh

Listen

Oh

People kill what they don't understand

All the legends they die in, at the hands of lesser men

Jesus and JFK and Marvin and Biggie Man

I wonder if life 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, 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 praying that this stairway

Leads somewhere like Heaven's 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

I could really use a wish right now
