[Verse 1] Lock the door Turn the pictures to the wall Kick our boots In a pile down the hall Fold the uniforms Like strangers on a chair We hang tomorrow On a single Silent prayer [Chorus] Three steps That’s as far as we’re allowed to dream tonight Three breaths Face to face Pretending that the world’s alright Hold me at the border Of your shoulder and your chest If the world falls apart We got three steps [Verse 2] First step You trace maps on my skin Second You forget where I end You begin Third step’s dangerous We don’t give it names Just count heartbeats And try not to picture aim and flame [Chorus] [Bridge] Outside They’re painting enemies With colors on a flag Inside It’s just your trembling hand Clutching at my dog tag “Will you fire if it’s my side?” You ask into my neck I say “We won’t get that far tonight We stop at the third step” [Chorus]
