Lyrics
wave your hand at all
Gesture of acknowledgement or greeting to those you seldom contact.
the people you never call
Acknowledge people you've neglected to call or communicate with.
and find the best excuse
Seek a convincing reason to explain your actions to friends.
to the friends you're about to lose
Acknowledge the potential loss of friendships and address it.
do it even though
Take action despite the emotional distress it may cause.
you can't stand the pain
Proceed even if facing discomfort or pain.
do it even though
Continue despite the absence of celebratory elements.
there'll be no balloons nor champagne
No festive atmosphere, indicating a serious or somber situation.
no flowers for you
No positive reception, only metaphorical "rain" or negativity.
but rain
Metaphorically, the absence of positive elements, only challenges.
tell them you were wrong
Admitting a mistake or wrongdoing to those affected.
about the name of that song
Admit a mistake about a trivial detail, possibly to lighten the mood.
tell them that you took
Confess to borrowing or being inspired by external sources.
that poem from a book
Indicate that creative work is not entirely original.
do it even though
Proceed despite knowing that things won't be the same afterward.
you will never feel the same
Continue even though the emotional impact will be irreversible.
do it even though
Act despite the negative consequences affecting one's reputation.
it will leave spots on your name
The action may tarnish one's reputation, leaving lasting marks.
and you will blush with shame
Anticipate embarrassment or regret as a consequence.
