Things We 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 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

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

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 fade away
