Connection Lyrics - Onerepublic

[Verse 1] 

These days my waves get lost in the oceans 

Seven billion swimmers, man I'm going through the motions 

Sent up a flare, I need love and devotion 

Traded for some faces that I never know, notion 

Maybe I should try to find the old me 

Take me to the places and the people that know me 

Tryin' to disconnect, thinking maybe you could show me 

If there's so many people here, then why am I so lonely? 

[Chorus 1] 

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?

[Verse 2] 

Real friends, good friends - hard to find, let's face it 

Find the perfect tone and there's a flood in the basement 

Made a couple dollars now and I ain't tryin' to chase it 

Kids from Oklahoma, man we don't waste it 

I'm just tryin' to paint the picture for me 

Something I could give a damn about at maybe 40 

Years and I be ready and willing and able to edit the story 

Cause there's so many people here to be so damn lonely 

[Chorus 2] 

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? 

[Refrain] 

Lonely 

[Bridge] 

Right now, right now, I'm switching to a new lane 

Foot to the floor, man searching for the real thing 

Meet somebody else, sometimes ain't no shame 

Head to the clouds sayin' 

[Chorus 2] 

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? 

[Outro] 

Try'na find the old me 

Lonely
