So disconnected where did we break down
I thought our love was built on solid ground
When think about the past, think about love and life
Obsess about the things that went wrong from right
Hindsight shoulda been plain to see
Thought it never coulda happened to you and me
I keep hearing bad love songs
They must be reading my mind
Keep playing on and on
I just keep hoping that time
Get it outta my head
So disconnected where did we break down
I thought our lives were built on solid ground, yea
So disconnected oh but I keep believing
Once upon a drеam
What about the world we had togethеr
Once upon a love
Love that’s gonna last forever
Gotta find a way
Yea, we could put it all back together
Once upon a dream, once upon a love
A love we thought would last forever
Now you were everything, you were heaven sent
Now time turned bliss to discontent
Love full of life turned to half alive
Infatuation can hypnotize
We were young, and we were solid as stone
But now young love is gone, guess we just got to move on
Gotta learn to move on
So disconnected where did we break down
I thought our love was built on solid ground
So disconnected oh but I keep believing
Once upon a dream
What about the world we had together
Once upon a love
I never did believe it was over
Gotta find a way
Oh got to put it all back together
Once upon a dream, once upon a love
Oh so disconnected
I thought our lives were built on solid ground
So disconnected where did we break down
I thought our love was built on solid ground
So disconnected oh but I keep believing
Once upon a dream
What about the world we had together
Once upon a love
I never did believe it was over
Gotta find a way
Wanna put it all back together
Once upon a dream, once upon a life
Oh so disconnected
So disconnected
Oh but I keep believing

I had the chorus idea many years ago and originally played it in a folk tuning but never completed iit because I never really knew what it could be about.
During Covid I began to go through some older song ideas and
rediscovered the idea… the isolation I was feeling inspired the verses as I was in a very reflective mood and wanted to express the spiritual, physical and emotional feeling that so many of us had of being disconnected… from each other… fr...
I recorded most of the song at home using garage band on my Mac. but I knew it needed the punch and color that only a live band could provide to make it come alive. I went into my favorite recording studio “Addiction Sound” in Nashville with David Kalmusky and assembled a bad ass rhythm section to p...
