East and west stare each other down
Opposing sides of a divided town
Like soldiers frozen in the coldest war
They've forgotten what they're fighting for

I keep to my side and see
The Moon watching over you and me
When you dream do you still keep up the fight
Deaf to my footsteps in the middle of the night?

3000
3000
3000 steps in the dark
3000 steps across the park
3000 steps it'll take some more
3000 steps to your door

When I hit the reservoir
It's then I know I don't have far
When I roll down Madison
You're about to know just why I've come

3000
3000
3000 steps to have my say
3000 steps on feet of clay
3000 steps so close, so far
3000 steps through the park

I will walk through meadows of sheep
Towards you hidden in the shadows of sleep
I will ramble through the strawberry fields
Each step another sign of what I feel

You and I shoot each other down
Opposing sides of a broken crown
If we survive this civil war
We will recover what's worth fighting for

3000
3000
3000 steps through heaven and hell

3000 steps forget about twelve
3000 steps might as well be the Moon
3000 steps from you
3000 steps from you
