The song is about the inner conflict of a young and inexperienced male trapped between his strong ("animalistic") urges and his timidity (increasing heartbeat) in preparation for and during different encounters with the opposite sex.
Fear and desire are dwelling in his chest (the town), facing each other in an old-Western-movie-like show-down. Fear and desire are real, while he invents imaginary hero scenes to boost his weak self-confidence.
Driven by his strong desire, he is firm in his will to succeed in the end (I ain't gonna leave).
