Somthing's Missing
The Internet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So before I break your heart, you should get the engine started
There's nothing like a nice drive in the Summertime
Sunshine with the groove goin' to help you move on
So get a move on, get your mood right to start a new life
And you're wonderin' what to do and where to go
Tell me not to do it babe, I don't feel the same without you anymore
Don't get caught up lovin' me
I know it don't make sense you're perfect on paper baby
But something's missing
Don't get caught up lovin' me
Girl I'm no good for you
It has nothing to do because it's just another seesaw
I don't wanna be without you babe
I just think I'm way too young to fall in love
Some of the times I guess I'm in another season
I'mma be trying to find someone like you
Don't get caught up lovin' me
Don't get caught up lovin' me
I just think I'm way too young to fall in love
Some of the times I get another season
I'mma be trying to find someone like you
She always wanna get down
When no one's was around
She always wanna get down
When no one's was around
She always wanna get down
When no one's was around
When no one's was around
She always wanna get down
When no one's was around
She always wanna get down
When no one's was around
The song "Something's Missing" by The Internet delves into the sullen topic of a relationship on the rocks. The lyrics convey the message of impending doom for the relationship, with the main character urging their partner to move on and start a new life. The phrase "full tank in the getaway" suggests an effort to escape and not face the ramifications of a breakup. On the other hand, the lyric "get your mood right to start a new life" encourages the partner to leave the past behind and turn over a new leaf.
The line "Don't get caught up lovin' me” is a firm warning from the lead singer to their partner not to become too invested in the relationship, as the relationship is not worth it. The singer admits that their partner is perfect on paper in every possible way, but that something is still missing. The line "I don't wanna be without you babe" is a contradictory statement, suggesting the singer is torn between holding on to what little is left of the relationship and wanting to move forward.
In the final verse, the lyrics "She always wanna get down when no one's around" may refer to the singer's partner secretly hoping that the relationship can be saved behind closed doors. Overall, the song leaves the listener with an impression of deep sadness, regret, and indecision.
Line by Line Meaning
It's a full tank in the getaway, getaway
The car is fueled up and ready to leave
So before I break your heart, you should get the engine started
You should prepare to leave before I hurt you
There's nothing like a nice drive in the Summertime
A summer drive can be very enjoyable
Sunshine with the groove goin' to help you move on
The sunshine and music can help you move on
So get a move on, get your mood right to start a new life
Get ready to start a new life with the right attitude
And you're wonderin' what to do and where to go
You may be unsure of what to do next
Tell me not to do it babe, I don't feel the same without you anymore
I can't imagine life without you, but maybe we shouldn't be together
Don't get caught up lovin' me
Don't get too attached to me
I know it don't make sense you're perfect on paper baby
You may be perfect, but that doesn't mean we're meant to be
But something's missing
Something doesn't feel right
Girl I'm no good for you
I'm not the right person for you
It has nothing to do because it's just another seesaw
This situation is just like any other back and forth
I don't wanna be without you babe
I still care for you and don't want to be without you
I just think I'm way too young to fall in love
I feel like I'm too young to settle down
Some of the times I guess I'm in another season
Sometimes I feel like I'm in a different stage of life
I'mma be trying to find someone like you
I will search for someone who is similar to you
She always wanna get down when no one's around
She wants to be intimate when we're alone
She always wanna get down when no one's around
She wants to be intimate when we're alone
She always wanna get down when no one's around
She wants to be intimate when we're alone
She always wanna get down when no one's around
She wants to be intimate when we're alone
