"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
I know that I 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
I know that I 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
