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 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
(chorus)
So here i am leaving soon
I'm standing at gate 22
Cuz 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 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 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
(chorus)
So here i am leaving soon
I'm standing at gate 22
Cuz 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 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
(chorus)
So here i am leaving soon
I'm standing at gate 22
Cuz 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 stay
At gate 22
