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 malls,
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
At all
When autumn comes, it doesnt ask.
It just walks in, where it left you last.
And 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
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 for me, when i come home (Check)
How come everything I think I need, always comes with batteries?
What do you think it means?
How come everything I think I need, always comes with batteries?

What do you think it means?
He needs vibrators and various sex toys. Gratuitous amounts.
I originally interpreted it more from a consumerism point of view - like, material items that need batteries/electricity to work or whatever, like laptops and TVs and mobile phones and this and that.. but eh! Your idea could work too XD
I believe those lyrics mean that for some, Autumn (colder weather) comes without asking you if you are ready. You only know when it starts when there is fog inside the glass around your summer hearts, your summer hearts are warm thoughts so the glass gets fogged up on the inside, just like in your car when its cold outside and warm and moist inside.
I realize this idea may be unpopular (although I don't know how or why it's become that way in society today), but the song mentions he is lonely for somebody, but he has all the friends in the world (and in fact I'm sure he does - who couldn't love JM) so who could that be ... all you're left with is the one individual who is not of this world. I mean JM mentions all the things people typically have in order to feel fulfilled, except for one major thing: religion. There's a investigative method where you make a list of typical causes and cross off the one's you've tested ... and yet religion is the one thing he seems to have left off his list to start with.
Why that is is intriguing ... maybe because he's been so frankly face to face with his own mortality, such an experience tends to have a polarizing effect, and he's likely surrounded by a crowd who fairly treat this subject with contempt, perhaps it's only natural that he not consider the one thing most likely missing from his life and most likely to make one feel lonely.
I think he is talking about no matter how good things are in your life (money, check... opposite sex, check) and no matter how self-reliant a person is, there is a moment when none of it is has meaning. There is something more that a person needs and many times we can't even answer that question of what is missing.
