Lyrics
Sail straight through to the afterparty
Sailing effortlessly towards a post-event gathering
Bleached blonde hair made you look so arty
Blond hair that's been lightened, giving an artistic appearance
Clumsy with a corkscrew, asking for help
Awkwardly handling a corkscrew and seeking assistance
Here we go again, here we go oh well
Expressing resignation or acceptance of a recurring situation
Your twenties! My thirties!
Highlighting the age difference between the speaker and someone else
Lighter in my coat but no bad habits
The speaker has fewer vices but still carries a lighter
When she leans in I'm glad I have it
The speaker finds comfort or reassurance in having something (perhaps metaphorical) when the person they're attracted to gets closer
Smiles at me when she takes the 1st hit
Observing a person's reaction when they take the first hit of something
I don't smoke weed but I am desperate
Expressing a level of desperation despite not participating in a certain activity (smoking weed)
I don't ask but there must be ten years in between us
Not explicitly asking, but acknowledging a significant age gap between the speaker and someone else
In her eyes a little shine not like the ache in mine
Comparing the youthful optimism reflected in someone's eyes to the more burdened emotions in the speaker's own
So young she says I still believe in romance
Highlighting the contrast in beliefs about romance between the speaker and the younger person
We laugh and flirt I don't say what makes me hurt
Suppressing personal emotions or pain during a lighthearted interaction
When you get old you can turn silver to gold
Suggesting that experience with age can turn challenges into valuable opportunities
These days I say everything could become my last chance
Adopting a mindset that treats every moment as potentially the last opportunity
I want love I want sex want-a place to call home
Expressing desires for love, sex, and a stable home
I want calls to check in when I answer my phone
Longing for attention or care, as indicated by wanting calls to check in
I don't know how much more I have left inside me
Expressing uncertainty about personal endurance or emotional capacity
Baby please baby please don't leave me so lonely
Pleading not to be left in a state of loneliness
