OneRepublic - Connection

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
Tryna 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
Bought the perfect home
And there's a flood in the basement
Made a couple dollars now
And I ain't tryna chase it
Kids from Oklahoma
Man we don't waste it

I'm just tryna paint
The picture for me
Something I could give a damn
About at maybe 40
Years and I'll 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?

Tryna find my old me
Lonely
