Lyrics
Getting off the plane she looks back now, maybe she could have been someone else
Memories locked in her mind of what she's left behind
Putting one foot in front of one, that's how they say it should be done
Thinking in terms of black and white, she thinks mmm
It's like a movie without the main cast, like a roller coaster going way to fast
Traces of a girl
Falling into oblivion...tonight
Sometimes she gets so confused, just does not know which path to choose
As she walks into the night, she says oooh
It's like a movie without the main cast, like a roller coaster going way to fast
Traces of a girl
Falling into oblivion...tonight, she knows she has no way to know if she's right
It's like a movie without the main cast, like a roller coaster going way to fast
