John Mayer - Something's Missing Lyrics






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

Friends -check- Money -check-
A well slept -check- Opposite sex -check- Guitar -check- Microphone -check- Messages waiting for me, when i come home
-check-

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

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

John Mayer Something's Missing Comments
  1. J.... M....

    Maybe I Should
    Try To Understand
    Your Way Of Thinking
    Then Maybe We'd Have A Chance
    To See Ourselves
    Beyond The Sight Of Eyes
    So That We Can Look
    Far Beyond The Necessity
    Of Disguise And Lies

  23. F.... A....

    I'm not alone
    I wish I was
    'Cause then I'd know I was down because
    I couldn't find a friend around

    It doesn't help the hunger pains
    And a thirst I'd have to drown first to ever satiate

  27. A.... F....

    The best ever....btw 2019 anyone??

    A.... F....

    Right Here.

    A.... F....

    @Holy Lion Of Judah tailing y'all

  28. E.... R....

    Man...so in love with this album. I think it was his best. And this song is so underrated.

  29. F.... O....

    ALGO ME FALTA Y NO SE QUE ES!

  30. E.... C....

    2:58 straight out of the 4th dimension

  31. M.... M....

    Guitar rifts kinda sound like Incubus a little bit

  32. r.... g....

    quando ouço essa musica imagino o John viajando sempre correndo sempre solitario tendo como sua unica companiha sua guitarra e seus pensamentos.

  33. z.... ....

    This song should have 4.000.000.000 views. And fyi, you 59 dislikers, you suck real ass.

  34. d.... ....

    2018 here.

  35. g.... 1....

    Such an underrated album! I love JM he was so hot then too ;)

  36. H.... K....

    this song never gets old.. john mayer is such a genius

  37. T.... E....

    Pure Genius what a musician!!!!

  38. J.... S....

    Came back to this album recently ... ex ruined it , over it now ... glad I came back to it

  39. D.... P....

    2018 and still loving this song

  40. B.... R....

    Still one of my favorite albums many years later. I finally purchased it on vinyl.

  41. F.... R....

    I can relate to this song in so many ways at so many levels!. specially when you're doing the check list and you can't find what's missing and since you can't find it, you can't fix it, that's the hardest part of it.

  42. G.... L....

    Well, my email shows with my husband's name, but , I , Anna loves John Mayer and I would love to meet him.

  43. v.... ....

    I wish there was an over the counter test for loneliness

  44. J.... V....

    Gorgeous track Album is still a favourite

  45. E.... M....

    damn...this is real

  46. T.... C....

    That guitar though 👌

  47. N.... B....

    Apathy defined in a beautiful way.

  48. s.... G....

    NOTHING IS MISSING ! MY SWEETEST XO EVER! YOU ARE DOING WHAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN:)

  49. A.... D....

    Best song ever.

  50. K.... ....

    Those chords though....😍🤗

  51. D.... J....

    How does this song not have like a million views already.. damn shame

    D.... J....

    So many songs pre-date youtube. Britney's Baby One More Time would literally be the most watched youtube video of all time.

  52. R.... C....

    Best part comes from 3:02

    R.... C....

    Rafael Coronel, PhD. Thanks, doctor.

  53. B.... ....

    I can relate to this song. I have been struggling for decades that there was something missing in my life I never could figure it out until I found Jesus Christ.

    B.... ....

    Sigh. Just......sigh.

    B.... ....

    John Mayer speaks more truth in his songs than most Christian songs. Everyone feels this way, and I'm convinced it's because we are created in God's image and there is a bit of Him in all of us. I imagine that void we each sense is a God-shaped hole that only God can fill. A lot of us will go our whole lives without ever recognizing that or even actively rejecting the truth.

  54. H.... C....

    This song sucks, and nobody has told me what an asshole I am in quite a while.

    Is the internet broken?

    H.... C....

    Asshole

  55. A.... O....

    Detractors can pick John apart because his tongue is hinged in the middle, and flaps at both ends. However, the kid is an amazing talent. This song always sounds fresh to me. Every. Damned. Time.

    A.... O....

    I don't quite get you. "Tongue hinged in the middle."

    A.... O....

    Swagat Malla  He talks about his personal life and things around him a bit too candidly, and the media picks it apart.

  56. G.... R....

    Me in the kids in ARIZONA. WOW

  57. I.... A....

    "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."
    That's just brilliantly put. Mayer is an awesome poet apart from all his other greatness.

    I.... A....

    Ivaylo Angelov Some of the greatest lyrics ever written❤️

    I.... A....

    Feeling that lyric today, first day of fall.

    I.... A....

    Sheer Genius.
    My mother told me that you really don't know what it is to Truly love someone until you find yourself staring at the last spot you saw them standing in.

    My Mom IS A UNICORN.

  58. F.... ....

    Amazing

  59. m.... ....

    most swag intro of all time :)

  60. r.... m....

    His guitar is this song is intricate perfection. John Mayer is this generations Clapton.

    r.... m....

    high praise. but I'm not gonna argue

    r.... m....

    Best guitarist of his generation

    r.... m....

    Clapton said he's a Master Guitarist.
    Nuff said.

  61. k.... ....

    Best. Album. Ever......enlightening

    k.... ....

    Agree 100%!

  62. J.... G....

    Great song 🤙🏻😄keep it up.

  63. M.... J....

    I love that chord at the end of the phrases. We usually have to journey a long time, to find home is what we were made of all along. I hope he finds home.

    M.... J....

    he's found it. I've gone to three of his concerts this year, including the very last two. He's comfortable in his skin, at peace, and enjoying the moment. He will stay true to himself and his fan and keep churning out masterpieces!

  64. T.... A....

    I can't listen to this song and Split Screen Sadness without getting emotional. Such a talent.

    T.... A....

    Both songs equally evoke so much emotion! The "Heavier Things" album is on my personal top twenty five all-time favorite list! 🤘🏽

  65. E.... B....

    Out fucking standing.

    E.... B....

    Deadhead finding Mayer's music? Enjoy! he's got a lot of hidden gems like this.

    E.... B....

    Mc Huelis..... not quite.... I loved this tune the very fucking day it came out! .....waaaaay before he even considered the Dead ;-)

  66. b.... ....

    This song describes my entire life.

  67. C.... R....

    Epic album--his new one is good too. He makes great music!!

  68. J.... C....

  69. s.... s....

    s.... s....

  70. C.... K....

  74. L.... L....

    Where would I be without John Mayer? I love his music and how I can relate.

  75. W.... S....

    john mayer looks like Matt dillion in that picture in a younger version

    W.... S....

    Warren Stanley LOOKS LIKE THE FLA. HI-SCHOOL SHOOTER ? I'M SAYING!!!

  76. L.... S....

    I fucking love the last part of this songggg!
    "Friends .. 👊

    L.... S....

    yes it's even better live. At first I didn't get this song until I heard it live. It blew my mind. That last part I was like I GET IT JOHN I GET IT! Had an out of body experience.

    L.... S....

    Right! EVERYTHING he does live kills! He's that bitchin good

  77. l.... ....

    14 years of being his fan. Never stop doing music, John.

  78. C.... W....

    I hope I can become such a big icon in the guitar world like John and make amazing music

  79. Z.... ....

    great song. powerful nostalgia chords. good lyrics. something is lacking inside. but the answer is inside us. the irony is that what we are missing is inside of us!!

  80. P.... A....

    I did an acoustic cover of this, feel free to check it out. I'm a huge fan.

  81. f.... ....

    Love John Mayer! Freaking love John Mayer! Bothered to work out the tuning and fingering of this so cool riff. LOVE JOHN MAYER! It sounds so cool on an acoustic in bed with your girl on a Sunday morning. She WILL ask 'Who wrote that?' Lol!

    f.... ....

    hahahaha totally agree!

  82. A.... J....

    well-slept>check;
    opposite sex>check
    how come everything I think I need always comes with batteries....

    A.... J....

    clever lines of how your life's supposed to be.

  83. N.... G....

    Intro = Cry For You - Andy Timmons ???

    N.... G....

    doesn't really sound like it at all but regardless both are epic songs. I'd say its almost closer to electric gypsy.

  84. K.... Q....

    you realize that nothing is missing. The void was all there ever was...

    K.... Q....

    A bit o' the ol' nihilism, eh?

    K.... Q....

    That was bleak asf... Lol

  85. M.... B....

    Those chords are amazing!

  86. Q.... M....

    She's Missing

    Q.... M....

    I know how you feel man...

    Q.... M....

    Me too man, 2 months still heaviest think I’ve dealt w in my 40 years

  87. E.... d....

    Sometimes .. Jesus is what is missing in our lives. His peace, His love .. He alone is who can fill the void inside us! Let Jesus be the Lord of your life, and you'll see that things will change. ;)

    E.... d....

    preach--speak on it. Perfect ministry opportunity for a song like this that makes people reflect.

    E.... d....

    Bro, he was being really respectful even in his declaration of what Jesus is.... Elom didn't say anything ill-meaning or offensive whatsoever, so why would you hate him?

    E.... d....

    Some people are honestly better off being brainwashed and following the path of religion. Nothing wrong with it

    E.... d....

    Love how people try and intellectualize their own spiritual perspective but often it sounds like they're treading water and talking in circles. Others immediately jump to angry speech. If you knew what Jesus wanted you wouldn't speak nonsense. If you want to know what Jesus wanted ask "The Father". Get a bible and look for the red letters!

    E.... d....

    Josh Sein actually he did lol. Nor did he ever tell his disciples they could do what he did. He always told them to pray.

  88. t.... ....

    May I suggest the John Mayer Trio live version of this song...such goodness.

    t.... ....

    @Ikue P What no link?

    t.... ....

    any given Thursday?

  89. T.... ....

    dat intro riff on something's missing :D!!!

  90. A.... C....

    And a thirst I'd have to drown first to ever satiate

  91. A.... L....

    AWESOME!!!
