Let's Do The Things We Normally Do

Let's pretend that we'll be here tomorrow

And I'll try for you to be a little more on time

I know you need to say you know you've let me down

But you haven't and it's hard to talk with people all around

Please don't say how proud you are



Let's do the things we normally do

I'll say, "See you later"

You'll sing a line or two from your rebel songs sung out of tune

Don't hold my hand for longer than you need to



Let's forget that we're here and make some plans

We'll go for walks

Sit together on the bench we always sat

I'll tell you every little detail of my day and so will you

Don't try to stay awake

I'm feeling tired too

This is just another day



Let's do the things we normally do

I'll say, "See you later"

You'll sing a line or two from your rebel songs sung out of tune

Don't hold my hand for longer than you need to



Armoured cars and tanks

And guns came to take away our sons

And everybody's stood behind the man behind the wire



There's a fight to love

A fight to have

Your bed's a battlefield and back

And all of this will just be stripped away



Let's do the things we normally do

I'll say, "See you later"

You'll sing a line or two from your rebel songs sung out of tune

Don't hold my hand for longer than you need to



Don't look me in the eye more than you need to



Don't try to say goodbye if I don't want to



Don't say how proud you are

And say I'm far away

And take along your

And say a word

And I can say, "I'll fade away"
