Something's Missing
It hasn't been that long ago that my life was missing something. And it seems funny to me now, because I don't have any more or less now than I did when this song as far as things one can touch. Life is good - but here's a song that talks about when it's not and nobody knows why:
"Something's Missing" by John Mayer
I'm not alone, I wish I was.
Cause then I'd know, I was down
because I couldn't find, a friend around
To love me like, they do right now.
They do right now.
I'm dizzy from the shopping malls
I searched for joy, but I bought it all
It doesn't help the hunger pains
and a thirst I'd have to drown first to ever satiate
Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
something's missing
And I don't know what it is
At all
When autumn comes, it doesnt ask.
It just walks in, where it left you last.
And you never know, when it starts
Until there's fog inside the glass around your summer heart:
Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
something's missing
And I don't know what it is
At all
I can't be sure that this state of mind, is not of my own design
I wish there was an over the counter test, for loneliness.
For loneliness like this.
Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
Something's different
And i don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is

How come everything I think I need, always comes with batteries
What do you think it means

It's just a simple hole in the soul when something is missing. We can't fill it up with things, but we certainly try to. Look around you and see all the love you have and then ask, "what's missing?".
hey, this is your lil sis, just didnt wanna make a username since I use xanga instead. You should try it.. I think you might like it better, you can do more with the graphics and stuff :) But anyway, yeah- I love that song.. I love most of John Mayors songs.They are easy to relate to
