Something's Missing

I have been listening to John Mayer a lot lately. I find his music to be very relaxing to listen to - his arrangement /vocal combination create an entire new world of music for me - it's a shift from my usual classic & modern rock without going Josh Groban. I love the relationship John Mayer creates between lyric and guitar. I thought I heard some classic bluesy guitar stuff in his recordings, then I found out that he's heavily influenced by late blues guitar legend Stevie Ray Vaughn. I really like one song in particular off his double-platinum "Heavier Things" record. Something's Missing is all about trying to find that one thing that will make life have meaning.

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
