[Verse 1]
I live in an old house
Down by the seaside
Work in an office
But I hate what that feels like
I collect elephants
I got nowhere to put them
But they're important to me
[Chorus]
And I hope you call me
When you feel alone
When you're missing home
Send a siren out to sea
If not for you, then do it for me
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I choke up on nothing but fresh air
Open the fridge and I know there's nothing in there
I collect elephants
And they shit everywhere
But they're important to me
[Chorus]
And I hope you call me
When you feel alone
When you're missing home
Send a siren out to sea
If not for you, then do it for me
And I hope you call me
When you feel alone
When you're missing home
Send a siren out to sea
If not for you, then do it for me
I hope you call me
When you feel alone
When you're missing home
Send a siren out to sea
If not for you, then do it for me
