the baseball project - that's living lyrics

jose fernandez got a call from a friend
around 10 o’clock on the night his life would end
he said i got a boat, it’s a beautiful night
the florida coast is a wonderous sight
you’re not starting for days, let’s go for a ride
you might say time is on our side
and some may have questioned, the timing or the risk
or the investment for the marlins
and potential damage that could never be fixed

but a life of caution isn’t for the young
we only get a little time, ya gotta have a lot of fun
the ways you push the limits and test thе edge
without those momеnts you may as well be dead
that’s living

his buddy came along, they met at the dock
he said i’ve got a little coke, a couple of beers
to cut us through the darkness and the fog
we can test the night, test the speed, test the shoreline and the reef
and be back before dawn and you can get a little sleep

and maybe some would say he should have been in his bed
before midnight, saying prayers, reading a book
and thinking about the next start ahead
and there’s no need to recount the rest
or theorize how those final moments went
a young man who could have had it all was lost that night
we wring our hands and curse the gods and say
why would a young man with everything to gain
take such a chance and test the odds
someone’s gotta take the blame
someone’s gotta take the blame
who’s gonna take the blame?
it’s only human nature to try to find a reason
for tragedy, an early end to life’s short season
and we shake our heads, tut tut we say
i don’t think i would have done it that way
sometimes we do the things that others won’t
we get away with it
but what if we don’t?
