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)

And 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 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)
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

And all the people say

(Ah listen)

(Oh)

People kill what they don't understand
All the legends they die in 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 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 are passed up when I was away
And all the experiences I couldn't ever replace
All the million times my heart, a part of it brake
I guess I'm harder for the hardships I had to face
Before every single show I pray 'til I sweat
I give my heart to a thousend people, I have never met
And then I let it all go, all 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, somethimes 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 prayin' 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)

Could we pretend that airplanes in the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
