The metaphor “skipping stones” explains the passing of time while waiting for something to happen that isn’t in the person’s control. The song goes on to reveal that mistakes were made, but the person didn’t learn from them.
[Intro: Gallant]
Find me
What am I missing?
What am I missing?
[Chorus: Gallant]
Find me skipping stones in washed up brooks
Holding out for something I can't force
What am I missing?
Oh, baby, what am I missing?
[Verse 1: Gallant]
Where's the peace of mind

All of the lessons that I've learned
How many bridges have I burned?
When did I go missing?

[Chorus: Gallant + Jhené Aiko]
Find me skipping stones in washed up brooks
Holding out for something I can't force
Oh baby, what am I missing?
Oh, what am I missing?
[Outro: Gallant + Jhené Aiko]
Woah, girl
Feeling
Somber
Say it to me, say it now!
