My heart is pounding deep breath into elevator doors
Shaky hands so nervous straight up to floor 44
Solo ride invite into the illusive glass castle
Ready for battle, I reach for the door handle
You've got to watch where you step
Handle with care, egos are fragile
One girl, just me guitar in hand in front of a table of suited men
They say let's see what you got and you only got one shot
But you won't look up from your
Phone long enough to see that I've grown
I push down, down,
Down the fear but it's 1-8-0 seconds for me to take that shot
And damn right, I'll take that shot
So start the clock
They say I'm standing in my own way
They're saying that I hold my own fate I gotta
Write them a breakout It better be better than great
So here we go, I'm ready 1, 2,
3 Minutes till I'm in the game
Till you know my name
Open up your gates
It takes 3 Minutes
3 Minutes in your ivory tower
You hold all the power
I put in 10, 000 hours but it takes 3 Minutes
One chance, it's a double edge sword as I
Give you my soul and I play you my chords
Deep breath as I pray to the Lord and I
Open my heart and I tell you my stories
Long list of inventories
All my worries and my glory
You've got your wish list, obnoxious, high standards, check boxes
Classy enough but edgy too
And I gotta be naked enough but not nude
Sexy but don't ever cross that invisible line
Let me see you be moody and dark
But still shine Hot enough but cool too
And I've gotta be bitchy enough but not rude
Appeal to the masses but strike into the heart of
One, both a 9-year-old girl and your college aged son
3 Minutes till I'm in the game
Till you know my name
Open up your gates
It takes 3 Minutes
3 Minutes in your ivory tower
You hold all the power
I put in 10, 000 hours but it takes 3 Minutes
Say na na na na na baby
Say na na na na na baby
Ohhh-Ohh
Oh
Oh
Ohhh Oh Oh
3 Minutes till I'm in the game
Till you know my name
Open up your gates It takes 3 Minutes
3 Minutes in your ivory tower
You hold all the power
I put in 10, 000 hours but it takes 3 Minutes
