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   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
