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 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 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 Friends (check) Money (check) Well slept (check) Opposite sex (check) Guitar (check) Microphone (check) Messages waiting on me when I come home (check) How come everything I think I need Always comes with batteries? Ah What do you think it means? How come everything I think I need Always comes with batteries?
