Lyrics:

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
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
Uh uh uh
Uh uh uh
Uh uh uh
A ticket to L.A
