Lyrics
Take a walk down the boulevard
Invitation to stroll down the boulevard, setting the scene.
Save a smile for the men driving that car
Suggesting a friendly gesture to those in control, possibly influential people in a car.
Leave your shoes by the table
Symbolic act of leaving behind the ordinary, preparing for something different.
And you could never be in the wrong
A reassurance that one cannot make a mistake in this scenario.
And wait
An instruction to wait, building anticipation.
You were always calling the shots anyway
Assertion that the person was always in control or influential.
You were always calling the shots anyway
Reiteration of the person's authoritative nature.
Take a ticket while you wait
Encouragement to take a number and wait, suggesting a process or system.
There's a line for a reason everyday
Highlighting the existence of a queue for a purpose, perhaps emphasizing order.
And don't you know
A reminder that certain things are beyond personal control.
It's not up to me
Expression of lack of control or influence over a situation.
When you were always calling the shots desperately
Reflecting on a past when the person desperately dictated terms or had control.
You were always calling the shots desperately
Reiteration of the desperation in the past control or influence.
You were always calling the shots everyday
Highlighting that calling the shots was a daily occurrence.
You were always calling the shots anyway
Reaffirmation that the person always had the authority or power.
You were always calling the shots anyway
Reiteration of the constant nature of calling the shots.
You were always calling the shots anyway
Final confirmation of the person's enduring control or influence.
