I drove down a couple miles past any sign of you
But heading there I passed that spot I used to take you to
Took me back in time, to that night, we pulled up to that tree
You saw a flashing light and said "make a wish with me"
You asked me what I wished for, I said "if I tell it won′t come true"
I asked heaven for forever
And I never spilled that truth
Oh, in the night we laid there
I had a million stars to choose
But the one that I saw
Took me away from you
And I look up tonight to see where I went wrong
Think I was wishin' on an airplane all along
30 Thousand feet above on that plane I wished upon
Bet there′s a window seat just waiting for me, to take me far from home
I wish I took that red-eye to anywhere but here
I wouldn't be lying on this tailgate
And wishin' you were here
You asked me what I wished for, I said "if I tell it won′t come true"
I asked heaven for forever
And I never spilled that truth
Oh, in the night we laid there
I had a million stars to choose
But the one that I saw
Took me away from you
And I look up tonight to see where I went wrong
Yeah, I was wishin' on an airplane all along
You asked me what I wished for, I said "if I tell it won′t come true"
I asked heaven for forever
And I never spilled that truth
Oh, in the night we laid there
I had a million stars to choose
But the one that I saw
Took me away from you
And I look up tonight to see where I went wrong
I looked up tonight to see where I went wrong
Yeah, I was wishin' on an airplane all along
