OneRepublic - Connection lyrics

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 just connect
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
Buy 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 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
Need 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?

Uh tryna find the old me (Lonely)
Yeah
