'Something's Missing'

Most people who know me well, know that I've loved John Mayer since I first heard his music. He has this sadness about him that I identify with and he's a cutie. He plays the acoustic guitar, which is one of my favorite instruments.

Now having said all that, he has a song called 'Something's Missing' and it struck a chord with me as soon as I heard it. It sums up what I feel on a day to day that something's missing in my life, but I don't know what it is or how to fix the fact that I don't. I listen to this song when I'm feeling a bit melancholy and I thought I'd share it with you in case you've never heard it or would like to hear it again. This is John singing it with just his guitar, which is how I like to hear him. Simple and beautiful.

Here are the lyrics so you can see why it's one of my favorite songs.

Something's Missing:
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
No I don't know what it is
At all

When Autumn comes, it doesn't ask
It just walks in where it left you last
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, no 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
