My eyes are open wide
By the way I made it through the day
I watch the world outside
By the way I'm leaving out today

We first see a picture of Johnny Smith in a green bubble as he does his taunt another bubble with a picture of Kenny as he does his signature taunt rookie and pro written respectively.

I just saw Haley's Comet, she waved
Said, "Why are you always running in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere

The Same thing but this time with Jarred Cross with Mad Chad as they seem to be glaring at the other.

Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

Then again with Alistair Mcyntire and Matt Awesome

Please don't cry one tear for me
I'm not afraid of what I have to say
This is my one and only voice
So listen close, it's only for today

Luke King stood with his pro Lance Raters

I just saw Haley's Comet, she waved
Said, "Why are you always running in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere"

Ethan stood side by side to his pro Justin Wyatt.

Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand

I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

Big Tiger was with Chazz who looked repulsed by the man.

Here is my chance

Randal Hodder is seen with pro Ted Estes they seem to be getting along.

This is my chance

The last we got is John Foley and Nuka Hayabusa who seem to be side by side glaring

Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying

We see a picture of all the pros together they seem to be glaring at each other.

Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

As the last verse climaxes the group is seen altogether each with a smug, Confident, or arrogant expression
