Connection - ONEREPUBLIC

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?

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
Find the perfect home
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, in 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

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
Meet somebody else, sometimes ain't no shame
Head to the clouds sayin'

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

Try'na find the old me
Lonely
