Discover the story of the song > What Do I Do – A. Savage

The protagonist in these lyrics is saying that even if he doesn't have certain things in his life, he will find a way to make do and be happy. He will serenade himself if he has no lover, take care of himself if he has no doctor, and cook up plans if he has no dinner. He will find ways to see, hide, and make a home even if he doesn't have the usual things. He will worship everything if he has no god, listen to his heart if he can't hear, and rest if he can't run. He will keep the company of silence if he has no friends and find problems elsewhere if he doesn't have any. He will leave a window open if he loses his mind, and wait until it comes back. He will expose himself if he has no clothes, and cry until a garden grows if he has no garden. If he loses touch with someone, he will find his way back. If he becomes numb, he will hold a sign with their name on it. If he forgets his name, he will give himself a new title. The protagonist is basically saying that he will adapt and find a way to be happy no matter what challenges or obstacles come his way.
