I threw darts at a spinning globe
Swapping out passport photos
I walked west to the setting sun
Every single step I grow another second young

All my hair grows in
Wrinkles leave my skin
But still don't fade
I'll be back again when the tide is in some day

I don't know who else to ask
Sitting in the dark holding an empty glass
Stained my teeth with more red wine
I'm a romantic, but never pearly white

All my hair grows in
Wrinkles leave my skin
But still don't fade
I'll be back again when the tide is in some day

Elephant shell
You're my cave and I've been hiding out
Will you tell me a little bit about
A bit about yourself?

Elephant shell
You're my cave and I've been hiding out
Will you tell me a little bit about
A bit about yourself?

    i believe the lyric is "whirling an empty glass." in reference to the wine.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
