The Connection (feat Charli Brix & Nu:Tone)

I wasn't looking for much

Until you found me

I was just looking for trust

From those around me

A little affection from the one that I love

Peace and respect from the ones that I trust

A deeper connection

A higher love, ooh

2018, it was August

Everything it fell apart without no guidelines to restore it

Got some news that changed my life, man

A childhood friend had gone

And the reason for his passing is he felt he didn’t belong

And that was fucking hard to take, I spent most my days on stage

Tryna process information that was lodged in my domain

But I performеd, 'cause music was the thing that kept mе sane

Sharing love to all these people gave me something to regain, oh

Was supposed to be the summer of love

But this relationship was toxic felt like pulling the plug

'Cause when your partner is jealous of all the movements you’re on

Man that's a red flag for real, hella deluded I was

So in the end we broke away and I began to the road to healing

Was a blessing in disguise, the time apart was so revealing

I was back on the road, playing from city to city

Still I had grief in my chest, won't paint a picture that's pretty

But then I met you one night (oh lord)

Fixate my gaze on one sight, internal flames they ignite

I found a good thing despite that year being hard to find peace

So when you're holding a burden you try find ways to release

That's where your soul it came in and my endorphins increased

I had a shoulder to lean on, you had a heart that was clean

You found a space in between

I wasn't looking for much

Until you found me

I was just looking for trust

From those around me

A little affection from the one that I love

Peace and respect from the ones that I trust

A deeper connection

A higher love, ooh

This ain't a love song in a classical sense

Will never water down my feelings I need more words to vent

’Cause all the goodness we’ve got comes from the hours we've spent

Across the continent’s plains, let the connection augment, I'm like

I couldn't plan to be content for this amount of time

Battle scars from all the years where I stepped out of line

Discontinued by your shine

Exhibiting a different path where intellects are not confined

A whole other world I'm seeing now

Clarity here, I see the ground

With a foundation that is strong we let the water flow

We stimulate each other, never divided if we’re both in tow

Not superstitious but I really think our stars aligned

No horoscopes round here but, yeah, I saw the signs

Replay the tape back on the past but there's no hatred in that show

Together me and you, we strive to grow

Replay the tape back on the past but there's no hatred in that show

Together me and you, we strive to grow

Replay the tape back on the past but there's no hatred in that show

Together me and you, we strive to grow, yeah, yeah

A whole other world I'm seeing now

Clarity here, I see the ground
