B.o.B - Airplanes [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook – 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

[Verse 1]
Yo, I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
Because after all the partying and 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 where you fade to the blackness
And when you staring at that phone in your lap
And you hoping, but them people never call you back
But that's just how the story unfolds
You get another hand soon after you fold
But 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

[Hook]

[Verse 2 ]
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 hell 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 shit
So here I stand and then again I say
I'm hoping we can make some wishes out of airplanes

[Hook]
