She had a Carolina smile
But wanted a California life
Traded in her name for a free ride
I don't ever want to laugh like this
Playing my position still I can't resist and
I am always the enemy in the end
But still I wait for her
The city lives bleed into the sunrise
She cries, doesn't seem to know why
This is the life of a girl.. mid-flight
If I could bring her to life then she'd know why
Deep down I see the fight in her eyes
She's on the edge of the world
No you can't blame the girl.. inside
They'll throw you roses on the stage
Then close the curtains, turn the page
They'll build you up only to tear you down
Yeah it's funny how the game takes you for a fool
World thinks you're winning when you're really losing
She is always her enemy in the end
But still I wait for her
The city lives bleed into the sunrise
She cries, doesn't seem to know why
This is the life of a girl.. mid-flight
If I could bring her to life then she'd know why
Deep down I see the fight in her eyes
She's on the edge of the world
No you can't blame the girl.. inside
Living in the fast lane trying to catch the last train home
But will she stay?
Crashing like a jet plane running out of runway
Oh will she fly?
To be with nowhere else to run, but will she ever come back to me?
Always running, always running
The city lives bleed into the sunrise
She cries, doesn't seem to know why
This is the life of a girl.. mid-flight
If I could bring her to life then she'd know why
Deep down I see the fight in her eyes
She's on the edge of the world
No you can't blame the girl.. inside
Inside... Inside
Inside
