Connection – OneRepublic

These days my waves get lost in the ocean
Seven billion swimmers
Man I’m going through the motions
Sent up a flare
Need love and devotion
Traded for some faces
That I’ll never know, notion
Maybe I should try to find the old me
Take me to the places and the people that know me
Trying to just connect
Thinking maybe you could show me
If there’s so many people here
Why am I so lonely?

Can I get a connection?
Can I get, can I get a connection?
Can I get a connection?
Can I get, can I get a connection?

Real friends, good friends
Hard to find, let’s face it
Buy the perfect home
And there’s a flood in the basement
Made a couple dollars now
And I ain’t trying to chase it
Kids from Oklahoma, man we don’t waste it
I’m just trying to paint the picture for me
Something I can give a damn about in maybe 40 years
And I’ll be ready and willing
And able to edit the story
Because there’s so many people here
To be so damn lonely

Can I get a connection?
Can I get, can I get a connection?
Can I get a connection?
Can I get, can I get a connection?
I can see it in my…
See it in my reflection
Oh, can I get a connection?
Can I get, can I get a connection?

-Lonely-

Right now, right now, I’m switching to a new lane
Foot to the floor, man searching for the real thing
Need somebody else sometimes
Ain’t no shame
Head to the clouds saying…

It’s like can I get a connection?
Can I get, can I get a connection?
Can I get a connection?
Can I get, can I get a connection?
I can see it in my…
See it in my reflection
Oh, can I get a connection?
Can I get, can I get a connection?

Trying to find the old me
-Lonely-
