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 be for long.
It was midnight in the middle of JFK, trying to take a man off the falling 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.
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, yeah.
She opened up after a drink, said she's throwing law school in the spring.
By the time that she hit three, I knew almost everything.
Lightning flashed across the sky.
I said it probably wasn't true.
I looked at the sky and I said, I'm safe to fly.
Secretly, I hoped that she'd be stuck with me all night.
Now, it's midnight in the middle of JFK, trying to take a man off the falling 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.
Now, there ain't a single thing I wouldn't trade.
For a ticket to L.A., yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.



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 in 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
Now there ain't a single thing I wouldn't trade
For a ticket to LA
A ticket to LA
A ticket to LA
A ticket to LA
A ticket to LA
A ticket to LA
A ticket to LA
A ticket to LA
A ticket to LA
A ticket to LA
