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
refrain:
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 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
refrain
Armoured 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
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 lady
And say a word
And I can say I'll fade away
And lay out your soul
And care for all
And say I will
And say I'm far
And I will
Say your far away
