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
