| Gate 22, two hour delay
|
| She was waiting on a plane to L.A.
|
| I didn’t see the harm in sittin' down
|
| At the wrong gate
|
| She said «Hello, where you headed to?»
|
| I didn’t lie, but I bent the truth
|
| Said «I'd go anywhere with you»
|
| And before long
|
| It was midnight in the middle of JFK
|
| Tryna take her mind off the fallin' rain
|
| I was saying anythin' to make her laugh
|
| Never wanted anything so bad
|
| She got me wishing that she could stay
|
| Doesn’t even know that I missed my plane
|
| Now there ain’t a single thing I wouldn’t trade
|
| For a ticket to L.A., yeah, yeah
|
| A ticket to L.A., yeah, yeah, yeah
|
| She opened up after a drink
|
| Said she’s starting law school in the spring
|
| And by the time that she had three
|
| I knew almost everything
|
| Lightnin' flashed across the sky
|
| I said it probably wasn’t safe to fly
|
| Secretly, I hoped that she’d be stuck with me all night
|
| It was midnight in the middle of JFK
|
| Tryna take her mind off the fallin' rain
|
| I was sayin' anything to make her laugh
|
| Never wanted anything so bad
|
| She got me wishin' that she could stay
|
| Doesn’t even know that I missed my plane
|
| Now there ain’t a single thing I wouldn’t trade
|
| For a ticket to L.A.
|
| Now gate 22 is calling out her name
|
| She wrote her number on my hand and walked away
|
| Alone here in the middle of JFK
|
| Sitting at a bar at an empty gate
|
| I’d do anythin' to bring her back
|
| Never wanted anything so bad
|
| She got me wishin' that she could stay
|
| Doesn’t even know that I missed my plane
|
| Now there ain’t a single thing I wouldn’t trade
|
| For a ticket to L.A., yeah, yeah
|
| A ticket to L.A., yeah, yeah
|
| A ticket to L.A.
|
| A ticket to L.A.
|
| A ticket to L.A.
|
| Woo-hoo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo
|
| Woo-hoo-hoo
|
| A ticket to L.A., yeah, yeah |
