"Every new day that you start
plans the minute you're flagging your heart "
I think that the word "flag" in this context is a verb, meaning to signal. I think the subject of this song warns her heart of the usual trouble that she encounters.
"every red eye that you cross
makes the next feel serious "
Since, the audience wakes up warning herself about love everyday, I think these two lines continue that idea. With every red eye that she crosses, indicates the countless let-downs from past relationships. Yet, in spite of all her disappointment, she thinks that the next relationship will actually be genuine.
"every silver shell that you crush
will be enough"
I think this implies that the audience is an alcoholic. That's immediate what comes to my mind, when the speaker mentions crushing "silver shells".
It kind of makes sense since the rest of song has the speaker asking the audience where she'll wake today or where she'll sleep. Honestly, I think it's about a person who sleeps around and constantly hurt by this because she takes all these encounters as serious relationships. She tries to warn herself but she's somehow fooled into thinking things are going to change this time.
