Let's Do the Things We Normally Do

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Armored cars and tanks and guns came to take away our sons And everybody's stood behind the men 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Don't say how proud you are And say I'm far away and take along your way And say a word and I can say fade away
