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
Oooh, oooh

Let's pretend like it's 98
like i'm eating lunch off of styrofoam trays
trying to be the next rapper comin out the A
Hoping for a record deal to ignore my pain 
now let's pretend like i'm on the stage
and when the bass drops everybody goes insane 
and everybody know my name and everywhere 
I go people wanna hear me sing
and I just dropped my new album on the 
first week I did Five-Hundred Thousand
gold in the spring and diamond in the fall 
and then a warped tour just to top it all off
and let's pretend like they called me the 
greatest selling out venues with big ass stages
and everybody loved me and no-one ever hated
let's try to use imagination

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

Okay, let's pretend like this never happened
like I never had dreams of being a rapper 
like I didn't write raps up in all of my classes
like I never used to run away into the blackness
now let's pretend like it was all good like i didn't 
live staring in a notebook 
like I did the things that i probably knew i should 
but I don't have neighbours that's why they call it hood 
now let's pretend like i ain't got a name 
way before they ever call me BOB aka Bobby ray
i'm talking back before the mixtapes before 
the videos and the deals and the fame
before the ever once compared me to 
Andre before i ever got on Myspace
before they ever noticed my face so 
let's just pretend and make 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

And it seems like yesterday it was just a dream
but those days are gone and there are only memories
(oh oh)
and it seems like yesterday it was just a dream
but those days are gone

You look so suprised...

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
