A thousand miles down and a thousand to go In this place that she now calls a home Ripped away from her friends when she was meant to ascend With her lungs full of ash and just burnmarks to show Taking one for the team Has never cut so deep But now she's back on the field Sparks dance round her eyes She's ready to pay the price Making the most of her borrowed time (Cut so deep, in her eyes) There she goes again, with that flickering smile The unstable ace, steady toeing the line Now she's back with her friends, bound to them 'til the end With Mikeyboy in her heart and pitches to throw She's checking her pulse for the last time tonight Walks up to the mound, sees the fear in their eyes Takes the ball in her hand, ready to make this right The debt must be paid, for her team and for Mike Taking one for the team Has never cut so deep But now she's back on the field Sparks dance in her eyes She's ready to pay the price Making the most of her borrowed time Borrowed time
