Airplanes
B.O.B
featuring Hayley Williams
[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)
[B.O.B.
- Verse 1]
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 partying
The
smashing and 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
When
you're staring at that phone in your lap
And
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
airplanes airplanes
Sorry
I'm late
I'm
on my way
So
don't close that gate
If
I don't make that
Then
I switch my flight
And
I'll be right back at it
By
the end of the night
[Chorus
- Hayley Williams]
[B.O.B
- Verse 2]
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
Yeah
back when I was trying to get a tip at Subway
Back
when I was rapping for the *love of it
But
nowadays we rapping to stay relevant
I'm
guessing 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 mixtape
And
back before I tried to cover up my slang
But
this is for 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
*stuff
So
here I stand
And
then again I say
I'm
hoping we can make some wishes out of airplanes
[Chorus
- Hayley Williams]

Raine,
18:
YL:
What's the first word(s) that comes to mind
when you think of B.O.B?
The
new and improved Kid Cudi (laughs).
YL:
B.O.B wants to expand his music beyond hip
hop into pop and rock [source: YRB magazine].
If he were to make a rock album, would you
be interested?
He
seems interesting so far so why not. Should
be way better than what Lil' Wayne attempted
to do.
YL:
Would this be the first or last song you
would want to hear in a club?
I
would say last because it feels like a mellow,
calm, you-need-to-leave-now song (laughs).
Kimona,
16:
YL:
Do you pretend airplanes are shooting stars
in the night sky?
It's
funny because one night while I was listening
to the song a plane did fly over my house
and I did think, what if?
YL:
If you were to put this in a playlist on
your iPod what would name would you give
to it?
Chillax
Vol. 12 (smiles). The name of my mixtapes.
YL:
Hayley Williams is a member of the alternative
rock group, Paramore. Do you listen to their
music?
I
have all their albums and I am a very big
fan of Haley.
