Note #2

In "Something's Missing" John Mayer sings of a confusion which leaves him dumbfounded. A sense of defiance is evoked when he says, "Im not alone. I wish I was," but he also wants to pinpoint the reason of his despair. He mentions "they" to generalize fans as an insignificant body: "I couldn't find a friend around/To love me like they do right now./They do right now." John Mayer feels like he has all he should need, but is missing something important. He is lost because he "[doesn't]know what it is." He has tried to satisfy his need of something more by having and buying everything he wants, but he has still found himself missing an important thing.
