Gate 22, 2 hour delay
She was waiting on a plane to L.A
I didn´t see the harm in sitting 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
Trying to take her mind off the fallin´ rain
I was saying anything 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
Not a single thing I wouldn´t trade
For a ticket to L.A
A ticket to L.A

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

Lightning 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
Trying to take her mind off the fallin´ rain
I was saying anything 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
Not a single thing I wouldn´t trade
For a ticket to L.A
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 anything to bring her back
Never wanted anything so bad
She got me wishing that she could stay
Doesn´t even know that I missed my plane
Not a single thing I wouldn´t trade
For a ticket to L.A
A ticket to L.A

A ticket to L.A
A ticket to L.A
A ticket to L.A
A ticket to L.A
