Gate 22

I won't try to argue now

Anyway I feel, there's nothin' I could say

To ease your mind

Maybe there's nothin' exciting outside

But round here, I'm just wastin' my time

Spinnin' round and nothin' new

When I close my eyes, I remember that kiss

I'd rather keep them wide open

And if I miss the train, do you really think

That even here, I'd be closer to you?

So here I am, leavin' soon and

I'm standin' at gate 22

'Cause whatever you may think I forgot

You know I'm still thinkin' about it

Sometimes I wish I could stay

No matter where I go, no matter how long

You know I'll keep hangin' on sweet memories

I'm a-leavin', but my mind will surely stay

At gate 22

There's too many dreams I must chase down

Though sometimes I bite off more than I can chew

I know you'd like to keep me near

I know it's easier to be two

But I can't plan my life all around you

I'm weaker than I'll let you know

So don't ask me to jump this wall

From here, it looks too tall

Two people kissin' goodbye facin' a door

A classic picture we're all tired of

So here I am, leavin' soon and

I'm standin' at gate 22

'Cause whatever you may think I forgot

You know I'm still thinkin' about it

Sometimes I wish I could stay

No matter where I go, no matter how long

You know I'll keep hangin' on sweet memories

I'm a-leavin', but my mind will surely stay

And I already see the picture of that day

When you said you'll wait for me

And I'll pretend just then to believe you

I'll send you postcards for a few weeks and then

Another perfect moment at the wrong time

But the timin' is always wrong

Here I am, leavin' soon and

I'm standin' at gate 22

'Cause whatever you may think I forgot

You know I'm still thinkin' about it

Sometimes I wish I could stay

No matter where I go, no matter how long

You know I'll keep hangin' on sweet memories

I'm a-leavin', but my mind will surely stay

At gate 22
