Lyrics

Connection

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I don't have time and it's Friday night

Been sleeping with two eyes open looking for you

For you

The kind of girl who won't apologise

Something cool in her oceans washes over you

Over you

And I'm just trying to catch her eye

Her blue jeans don't fit quite right, she smiles

Yeah, she smiles

I don't know how, I don't know why

I'm just trying to make a connection

To the left, to the right

I'm just trying to make a connection

And in your eyes a silhouette

I'm just trying to make a connection

I'm not a man to walk away

I'm not a man to walk away from a connection

The morning Sun caresses her skin

My mouth is dry as Gordon's gin

But I feel alive

Feel alive

She said: I don't believe in love at first sight

But you can take me home if it feels alright, oh, baby

Oh, baby

I said: You drink as fast as Hemingway

But you still know all the right words to say, oh, baby

Pretty baby

I don't know how, I don't know why

I'm just trying to make a connection

To the left, to the right

I'm just trying to make a connection

And in your eyes a silhouette

I'm just trying to make a connection

I'm not a man to walk away

I'm not a man to walk away from a connection

(Connection, connection)

(Connection, connection)

I'm not a man to walk away from a connection

(Connection, connection)

(Connection, connection)

You always felt so out of place

As the light hits your face

And the dust falls from your eyes

You said you never want to say goodbye

We took a cab to the white light

You said you don't want to end the night

And I said: I'm not a man

I'm not a man to walk away from a connection

I don't know how, I don't know why (connection, connection)

I'm just trying to make a connection

To the left, to the right (connection, connection)

I'm just trying to make a connection

And in your eyes a silhouette (connection, connection)

I'm just trying to make a connection

I'm not a man to walk away (connection, connection)

I'm not a man to walk away from a connection

(Connection, connection)

(Connection, connection)

I'm not a man to walk away from a connection
