Dido

Let's do the things we normally 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 together 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

Armoured cars and tanks
And guns came to take away our sons
And everybody's stood behind the man behind the wire¹

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, "I'll fade away"
