The Connection

[Chorus: Charli Brix]
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

[Verse 1: Degs]
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

[Chorus: Charli Brix]
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

[Verse 2: Degs]
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

[Outro: Degs & Charli Brix]
A whole other world I'm seeing now
Clarity here, I see the ground
