Something's Missing Lyrics

I'm sitting where my grandfather must have sat
When he needed time to think
I guess we're always drawn to the water's edge
Just to give our soul a drink
So I tell the waves in ways I wish I could tell you
And they're just singing back to me
Reminds me how it used to be
Laid out all of my trivial problems
It's hard now, but I know in time we'll solve them

And you never seem to be there
When I'm feeling like this
When I'm feeling like something's missing
You haven't really been there
For a long, long while
But it still feels like something's missing

Now my little bro's not so little no more
But he's got a boy inside him
He's missing all the teachings that you should have taught
And he's acting tough to hide them

He shows his rage in ways I wish he could show you
But it doesn't get him anywhere
It doesn't get him anywhere
Pour out all of your trivial problems
It's hard now, but I know in time we'll solve them

And you never seem to be there
When he's feeling like this
When he's feeling like something's missing
And you haven't really been there
For a long, long while
But it still feels like something's missing

You never seem to be there
When I'm feeling like this
When I'm feeling like something's missing
You haven't really been there
For a long, long while
But it still feels like something's missing
