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 then you need to

Lets 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 then you need to

Armoured 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 love
A fight to have
Your beds 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 then you need to
Don't look me in the eye more then you need to
Don't try to say goodbye if I don't want to
