Connection Lyrics by The Kooks

10 Tracks to Echo in the Dark

2022

[Verse 1]
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 eyes
Her blue jeans don't fit quite right
She smiles
Yeah, she smiles

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
The morning sun caresses hеr skin
My mouth is dry as Gordon's gin but I feel alive
Feel alive
She said "I don't bеlieve 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"

[Chorus]
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)

[Bridge]
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"

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
(Connection, connection)
(Connection, connection)
I'm not a man to walk away from a connection
