I should make this into a youtube someday. Someone get on me about it and make sure I do? Please and thank you! :)


Airplanes: B.O.B. ft. Hayley Williams
(this is just the rap rewritten, perhaps the podcast is to come...)

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)


I’m wishin on falling stars that come from my eyes
You can call them tears, I call them scars of a former life
I got my back to the wall straight swingin -miracles-!
Like a black single mother. understand that it’s spiritual…
So, I’m wishing on falling scars with the ruefullest grin
Wishing that it’s the last one that I see, again
I know I’m not supposed to tell what I'm wishin' 'bout
But I’m hoping that, for once, I can wish out loud…
Soliloquist conversations: “Dear Self
I ain’t got much left, and it’s all on the top shelf
It seems like all I do is keep on coming up short"
And by Self I mean God, I hope you’re listenin, sport
And by ‘sport’, I mean me. God lookin' MIA
What’s the address to Heaven, so I can On-star Him the way?
I know You know where I live, but You ain’t visited in so long,
That, no disrespect, I thought I’d help You along…


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)


I put my -soul- on a track til my eyes drip reality
And I can’t hear what you say cause life steady shout at me
If you could only understand what my life is truly like…
if you were only able to see me at night…
Then you might understand my thoughts and my fears
The nightmares that attack when you’re not in my ear
The only thing that I fear…is sleep and my dreams
Die a little every day, something’s gotta change. Yah mean?
I’m swear’n my dreams and Christ are all I’ve got left
Plus my word and my balls, my pen and my fam, def
They’re talking slick promises, but never can deliver
The “she”s keep saying “forever” when they really mean “never”
I’d settle for “right now”, if it was absolute
And I’d settle for being hurt, if it was all truth
But I’ll settle for nothing. I want the whole pie, or no grease
No, what I -would- settle for is a little peace and true sleep…


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)
