In this song John questions the meaning of life. He figures that he has “the dream”, money, friends, people who care about him, girlfriends, etc. But yet he still feel as if he is incomplete. Could he be missing true love? Connection with God?
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm dizzy from the shopping mall
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
When autumn comes
It doesn't 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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge 2]

[Outro]
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?
