Airplanes Lyrics - X Factor (uk)

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 cashin' 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 thrill 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 the hater, what's up, [Incomprehensible] 

So can I get a wish to end the politics? 

And get back to the music that started this hit 

So here I stand, and then again I say 

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, I, I could really use a wish right now 

A wish, a wish right now
