Lyrics of 'Airplanes' by Travis Garland

Could 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 praying that this stairway
Leads somewhere like Heaven's door
And when you get there, don't look down (Don't look down, Don't look down)

I remember the first day of school,
When you walked right next to me
You taught me everything that I know
And you always knew what to say
Time goes on
Now every word in every damn song
Reminds me of your face (You were part of me, You were part of me)
I didn't know everything I've got
Now I know that you are gone
Feel you right here next to me
Though I know that you've moved on
But the hardest thing of all is knowing
I didn't get to say (You were everything, You were everything)

Could 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, now)
I'm praying that this stairway
Leads somewhere like Heaven's door
And when you get there, don't look down (Don't look down, Don't look down)

And all the people say,
Iiii Iiii Iiii Ha
And all the people say,
Iiii Iiii Iiii Uh
Listen
Oh

People kill what they don't understand
All the legends they die in, at the hands of lesser men
Jesus and JFK and Marvin and Biggie Man
I wonder if life after death
Was ever fair for them
Live in the moment,
I was never really one to plan
So many things I wasn't meant ever to understand
What if Alice imagined her trip to Wonderland
And why didn't Paul have shoes
Like the rest of them did
So many memories I passed up when I was away
All the experiences I couldn't ever replace
All the million times my heart, a part of it break
I guess I'm harder for the hardships that I had to face
Before every single show, I pray 'til I sweat
I give my heart to a thousand people I never met
And then I let it all go, the pain and regret
Hope God forgive me
For the sins that I'm about to commit
Don't wanna get by, I wanna excel
I know life is like the crossroads for heaven and hell
Right and wrong, sometimes It's just so hard to tell
But at least I'm saving others If I'm losing myself

Could 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 praying that this stairway
Leads somewhere like Heaven's door
And when you get there, don't look down (Don't look down, don't look down)

Airplanes in the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now
