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, a wish right now
Beautiful queen, I see you every night in my dreams
Under a purple sky holdin' a forbidden nectarine
I wake up every day and try to tell you how I feel
I wrote you a letter but the envelope is still sealed
And every day passin' is another wave crashin'
Another bold move that I forgot to make happen
So the undertoe is takin' you away with the tide
While I'm on the sand and my hand's wavin' goodbye
Yeah, and it seems so inefficient to me
I wasn't wishin' to be, another fish in the sea
'Til I heard a storm comin' and I saw the sky open
And then a saint from above fell into my ocean
Now I can see the heavens, I don't have to know astronomy
And so I hope you follow me into my oceanography
And fly to the horizon while I got you fantasizin'
I could take you to the moon so we could watch the planet risin'
Cause today somebody told me I should look to the sky
They said that mercury and mars are visible to the eye
And the last time that happened was in 1925
You know that crazy things happen whenever the planets align
And maybe it's a sign, but I would like a shooting star
Cause like mars, even though you're visible, you're still far
And I just really wanna bring the light back
I was on the right track up until the light cracked
If I had it for a second, I would seal it in a bag
It would be my lava lamp when I be chillin' in my pad
And nothing could be realer than the feelings that I have
When I'm starin' at the ceiling and I'm feelin' kinda sad
And I feel it's kinda bad, all of this time achin'
Waitin' patiently for my phone to be vibratin'
So I'm wishin' that you call, yo I slumber and I dream
And I'm hopin' I'm awoken by your number on my screen
Close your eyes, picture us together at the top
Hold my hand baby and we'll jump off of the rocks
Ropeswing into the gorge, we can hold the same knot
I don't ever want this moment to stop
But I know it doesn't last forever so I wish I had a camcorder
So I could film you blowin' me kisses under the water
We hold each other close, like we're on the same team
It's you and I floatin' down the stream, we just drift
Further down the river like incubus
Wonderin' if my transmission was aqueous
If we had to separate and take another lover
Could we ever meet again and share what we have both discovered?
This river has a tendency to rearrange its particles
And suddenly we're at the lover's tunnel at the carnival
In the swan ride, and I'm starin' at your lips
Cause I really wanna give you a kiss, like this…
But then you disappear and the swan stops
And I'm in my dorm room starin' at my alarm clock
I really hate the feeling when I have a happy dream
And I wake up in the morning and curse my reality
So the next time I have it I'mma seal it in a bag
It'll be my lava lamp when I be chillin' in my pad
And nothing could be realer than the feelings that I have
When I'm starin' at my ceiling and I'm feelin' kinda sad
And I feel it's kinda bad, all of this time achin'
Waitin' patiently for my phone to be vibratin'
And I've found that whenever I'm lyin' down on my mattress
In my rapid eye movie, you're always the main actress
So I look for shootin' stars when in pain
Hopin' that the airplanes are fair game
Cause if I had one wish that I could speak
I would ask to be the last thing you think about before you fall asleep
