Gate 22

I won't try to argue now

Anyway I feel there's nothing I could say

To ease your mind

Maybe there's nothing exciting outside

But around here I'm just wasting my time

Spinning 'round on nothing new

When I close my eyes I remember that kiss

I'd rather keep them wide open

And if I miss that train do you really think

That even here I'd be closer to you

So here I am leaving soon and

I'm standing at gate 22

'Cause whatever you may think I forgot

You know I'm still thinking about it

Sometimes I wish I could stay

But no matter where I go no matter how long

You know I'll keep hanging on Sweet memories

I'm leaving 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 kissing goodbye facing a door

A classic picture we're all tired of

So here I am leaving soon and

I'm standing at gate 22

'Cause whatever you may think I forgot

You know I'm still thinking about it

Sometimes I wish I could stay

But no matter where I go no matter how long

You know I'll keep hanging on Sweet memories

I'm leaving but my mind will surely stay

And I already see the picture of that day

When you'll say 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 timing is always wrong

Here I am leaving soon and

I'm standing at gate 22

'Cause whatever you may think I forgot

You know I'm still thinking about it

Sometimes I wish I could stay

But no matter where I go no matter how long

You know I'll keep hanging on Sweet memories

I'm leaving but my mind will surely stay

At gate 22
