[Lyric] Longing for Connection (Josh Roehl)

[Verse 1]
I've been stuck on my own
I've been stuck all alone
Only able to talk through Zoom and Skype and phone
Thinking 'bout the days gone by seems so long ago
When we could see each other and life was normal

[Verse 2]
I don't know how much more I can take
So much hypocrisy, so many mistakes
They tell us to stay home, but they don't do that themselves
I can't take this anymore in case you can't tell

[Chorus]
I'm feeling lonely and I'm longing for connection
Someone to promise me they'll stay by my side
I'm feeling lonely and I'm longing for connection
Someone to help me pretеnd that things will be fine

[Instrumental break]
[Verse 3]
I'm trapped insidе and I long to get out
I'm going insane, it makes me want to shout
10 months is way too long, how long must this madness go on
I'm sick and tired of this phenomenon
A criminal dies, and they martyr him for months
He gets four funerals yet or loved ones don't get one!?
I'm so sick of these rules being applied so inconsistently
All I want is for someone to understand me

[Chorus]
I'm feeling lonely and I'm longing for connection
Someone to promise me they'll stay by my side
I'm feeling lonely and I'm longing for connection
Someone to help me pretend that things will be fine

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 1]
I've been stuck on my own
I've been stuck all alone
Only able to talk through Zoom and Skype and phone
Thinking 'bout the days gone by seems so long ago
When we could see each other and life was normal

[Chorus]
I'm feeling lonely and I'm longing for connection
Someone to promise me they'll stay by my side
I'm feeling lonely and I'm longing for connection
Someone to help me pretend that things will be fine
[Chorus]
I'm feeling lonely and I'm longing for connection
Someone to promise me they'll stay by my side
I'm feeling lonely and I'm longing for connection
Someone to help me pretend that things will be fine
