"Take a breath, take it deep
Calm yourself", he says to me
"If you play, you play for keeps
Take a gun, and count to three"
I'm sweating now, moving slow
No time to think, my turn to go

Chorus
And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
And I'm terrified but I'm not leaving
Know that I must must pass this test
So just pull the trigger

"Say a prayer to yourself,"
He says: "Close your eyes
Sometimes it helps"
And then I get a scary thought
That he's here means he's never lost

Chorus
And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
And I'm terrified but I'm not leaving
Know that I must must pass this test
So just pull the trigger

As my life flashes before my eyes
I'm wondering
Will I ever see another sunrise?
So many won't get the chance to say goodbye
But it's too late
To pick up the value of my life
