Airplanes

[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
