Wishin' on an Airplane
Wishful Skies: Unraveling Love's Altitude
Lyrics
I drove down a couple miles past any sign of you
I drove away from any trace of you for a couple of miles.
But heading there I passed that spot I used to take you to
While heading there, I passed a location we used to visit together.
Took me back in time, to that night, we pulled up to that tree
This reminded me of a specific night when we parked by a tree.
You saw a flashing and said "make a wish with me"
You noticed a flashing light and suggested making a wish together.
You asked me what I wished for, I said "if I tell it won't come true"
When asked about my wish, I replied that revealing it might prevent it from coming true.
Well I asked heaven for forever, and I never spilled that truth
I secretly wished for eternal love, but I never confessed that truth.
Oh in the night we laid there I had a million stars to choose
During the night, surrounded by countless stars, one caught my attention, taking me away from you.
But the one that I saw, took me away from you
I look up tonight to see where I went wrong
Reflecting on my choices tonight to understand where I went wrong.
Think I was wishin' on an airplane all along
I realize I might have been wishing on an airplane all along.
30 Thousand feet above on that plane I wished upon
At 30 thousand feet on that plane, I made a wish.
Bet there's a window seat just waiting for me, to take me far from home
Imagining a window seat waiting for me, ready to take me far from home.
I wish I took that red-eye to anywhere but here
I wish I had taken a late-night flight anywhere but here.
I wouldn't be laying on a tailgate and wishin' you were here
Instead, I find myself lying on a tailgate, yearning for your presence.
You asked me what I wished for, I said "if I tell it won't come true"
Repeating the scenario where you asked about my wish, and I kept it a secret.
Well I asked heaven for forever, and I never spilled that truth
I sought everlasting love from heaven without revealing my true feelings.
Oh in the night we laid there I had a million stars to choose
Once again, surrounded by stars, the chosen one led me away from you.
But the one that I saw, took me away from you
I look up tonight to see where I went wrong
Looking up tonight, trying to understand where I made a mistake.
Think I was wishin' on an airplane all along
Realizing I might have been mistakenly wishing on airplanes all this time.
You asked me what I wished for, I said "if I tell it won't come true"
Reiterating the situation where I kept my wish a secret from you.
Well I asked heaven for forever, and I never spilled that truth
Asking for eternal love from heaven, but concealing my true emotions.
Oh in the night we laid there I had a million stars to choose
Once again, among a million stars, the one I chose separated me from you.
But the one that I saw, took me away from you
I look up tonight to see where I went wrong
Searching the night sky, contemplating where I made an error.
Think I was wishin' on an airplane all along
Coming to the realization that my wishes may have been misguided, focused on airplanes all along.
