Refrain

Intro

Piano

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 ‘round 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

 & if I miss that train do you really think

 That even here, I’d be closer to you

Refrain

So, here I am, leaving soon and

I’m stan

…………ding 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

 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

Refrain

So, here I am, leaving soon and

I’m stan……………ding 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

I already see the picture of that day

 When you’ll say that you’ll wait for me

 And I’ll pretend just then to believe you

 I’ll send you post cards for a few weeks and then

 Another perfect moment at the wrong time

 But the timing is always wrong

Refrain

So, here I am, leaving soon and

I’m stan……………ding 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
