Lupe Fiasco – Airplanes lyrics

[Chorus: Hayley Williams]
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

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
Wishes that the world could see
From the position of my girl and me
From the perspective of laying on the hood of a car
Looking up at the stars with all the connections cut
Cause when you stuck, advantages vanishes
Bandages on the damages of what depression does
Sequestered cause, who are they to question us?
Beating up our ear drums like Question Love
With all of their requests from above
Press from below, only directions to bus
Thus we laying in the cut on the Cutlass Supreme
Looking up at the scene
Hoping it doesn’t cut, the fresh and the make up
Get re-fed the lines and reminded of what they mean
The importance of really acting like they important
And if you don’t feel ‘em you should force ‘em
Now...
[Chorus: Hayley Williams]
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

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]
Wishes that mend the broken heart
Fill the open palm, pardon my flow and thoughts
My departure from the norm, to parts that's more warm
War torn from the marchin' of your armies and the droppin' of your bombs
The walking on the waters now stomping on the pond
The ripples now a wave
It can’t be peaceful with a pistol in your face
You can’t beat the people so you picking on they place
I jump to defend, I wage with a page
My pen’s mightier than them and I got missiles on the stage
This couch is for the cowards and stretchers for the brave
And I happily lay upon the bed that I have made
Like house keep, sheets and pillow case
But I don’t sleep, dreams is keeping me awake
They went up thinking they would never touch the ground
But we gon wish it ‘pon ‘em on the way back down

[Chorus: Hayley Williams]
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

[Outro]
We are
Lasers
We shed light on injustice and inequality
Lasers stand for peace
Lasers stand for progression
Lasers are the future
We’re not losers
We are
