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

But 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

Every body stood behind the men behind the wire

There's a fight to love, a fight to have

Your bed's a battlefield and back

But 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 and fall away

And take all your need

And say a word and die and sing

And fade away and let our soul

Became and sail away

...along the way
