Lets pretend that well be here tomorrow
And Ill try for you to be a little more on time
I know you need to say you know youve let me down
But you havent, and its hard to talk with people all around
Please dont say how proud you are
Lets do the things we normally do
Well Ill say see you later
Youll sing a line or two
From your rebel songs sung out of tune
Dont hold my hand for longer than you need to
Lets forget that were here and make some plans
Well go for walks
Sit together on the bench we always sat
Ill tell you every little detail of my day and so will you
But dont try to stay awake
Im feeling tired too
This is just another day
Lets do the things we normally do
Well Ill say see you later youll sing a line or two
From your rebel songs sung out of tune
Dont hold my hand for longer than you need to
Armored cars and tanks and guns, came to take away our sons
And everybody stood behind
The man behind the wire
Theres a fight to love
A fight to have
Your beds a battlefield and back
And all of this will just be stripped away
Lets do the things we normally do
Ill say see you later youll sing a line or two
From your rebel songs sung out of tune
Dont hold my hand for longer than you need to
Dont look me in the eye more than you need to
Dont try to say goodbye if I dont want to
Dont say how proud you are
And say Im far away
And take along
And say a word
And I can say I fade away
