Discover the story of the song > Something’s Missing – John Mayer

The protagonist in the song feels alone even when surrounded by people who love him. He tries to fill the void with material possessions and distractions, but nothing seems to work. He's not even sure what's wrong, but he wishes there was a test for loneliness. At the end, he questions why everything he thinks he needs comes with batteries, perhaps implying that he's looking for something more meaningful than just temporary fixes.
