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 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

[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
