Don't
Graham BLVD Lyrics

All the waiters in your grand cafe
Every worker in the restaurant you own stops what they're doing when you're around.

Leave their tables when you blink
They can't resist your charm and leave their duties to catch a glimpse of you.

Every dog must have his everyday
Just like a dog has his routine, people have their own way of living day to day.

Every drunk must have his drink
Everyone has their own vice or bad habit they can't seem to shake.

Don't wait for answers
Don't wait for certainty or clarity before taking action.

Just take your chances
Seize opportunities when they arise, without worrying about the consequences or rewards.

Don't ask me why
I don't have a reason or explanation for what you're experiencing.

All your life you had to stand in line
You've had to wait your turn and be patient throughout your entire life.

Still you're standing on your feet
Despite all the waiting and hardships, you're still standing strong.

All your choices made you change your mind
Your choices and experiences have shaped your perspective and caused you to rethink your beliefs.

Now your calendar's complete
You've accomplished everything on your to-do list and have a sense of fulfillment.

You can say the human heart is only make believe
Some may argue that love and emotions are just a figment of our imagination, not based in reality.

And I am only fighting fire with fire
I'm using negative tactics to combat your negative behavior.

But you are still a victim
Despite my actions, you're still suffering from your own mistakes and misfortunes.

Of the accidents you leave
You're a victim of your own careless actions and decisions.

As sure as I'm a victim of desire
Just as I have my own weakness that I struggle with, so do you.

All the servants in your new hotel
Even the lowliest staff in your lavish hotel treat you like royalty.

Throw their roses at your feet
They're so infatuated with you, they throw flowers at your feet in adoration.

Fool them all but baby I can tell
Though everyone else may be fooled by your facade, I can see through it.

You're no stranger to the street
You've experienced the harsh realities of life and know how to survive in difficult situations.

Don't ask for favors
Don't expect to receive special treatment or help from others.

Don't talk to strangers
Avoid getting involved with people you don't know, as you can't trust them.

Yesterday you were an only child
Just yesterday, you felt alone and like no one was there for you.

Now your ghosts have gone away
Your past hardships and regrets no longer haunt you.

You can kill them in the classic style
You can finally let go of your past in a traditional or symbolic way.

Now you, "parlez vous francais"
Now you're cultured and sophisticated enough to speak French.

Don't look for answers
Don't try to find meaning or purpose; just live in the moment.

You took your chances
You've made bold decisions and taken risks in your life.

Don't ask me why
I don't have all the answers, and sometimes there is no reason or explanation for what happens in life.
