Airplanes Pt. III Feat. Sophelia

Can we pretend that the airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now

(Wish right now, wish right now)

Let's pretend: it's the year 2015
High school Cinderella -- once caught in between
Sweeping the soot of the world or living out a dream --
Now she's seeing the world through a tinted limousine
Let's pretend Cinderella's risen to the top of her game
Stepping out downtown with the fans screaming her name
Never thought she'd be the one escorted to a movie premiere
By the celebrity she's been crushing on all these years
All these years -- remember back when it was 2010
What if Cinderella had never bothered to pick up a pen
What if she'd buried herself alive taking reqs for pre-med
Neglecting the words rattling inside of her head
Back when nobody ever remembered her name
She'd look out the window wishing upon an airplane
Shooting stars burn and crash but airplanes fly
But only if you've got the fuel to keep them up in the sky
Then maybe one day you'll wake up and find
Your writing devoured and praised as being one-of-a-kind
But don't forget dear, Cinderella can only reap what she sows
Nothing comes from daydreaming out the window, thinking...

Can we pretend that the airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now
(Wish right now, wish right now)
