My Missing

Xavier Rudd · Food In The Belly [2005]

I See you sleeping only in my mindI have been away

alone this seasonI waste so much timeThinking of when

I would hold you gentlyAnd I'd look into your eyesAnd

I would be the one to calm your shakingWhen you would

cryI miss you in my lifeI miss you in my lifeI miss

you in my lifeSo miss you in my lifeYou hide your answers

within every smileTime and time again I'd lose my chancesTo

reconcileEven if I had my time overit would take a

whileTo reveal all my best intentionsThat I let slip

byI miss you in my lifeI miss you in my lifeI miss

you in my lifeSo miss you in my life

My Missing - Xavier Rudd

Xavier Rudd's 'My Missing' serves as a poignant centerpiece on the 2005 album 'Food In The Belly,' reflecting the Australian singer-songwriter's signature blend of acoustic guitar, folk-pop sensibilities, and socially conscious storytelling. Recorded during a period where Rudd frequently explored themes of environmental stewardship and personal introspection, the track exemplifies his ability to weave narrative-driven lyrics with melodic accessibility. As part of his broader discography spanning the mid-2000s, the song captures the raw, unpolished energy characteristic of his live performances and studio recordings from that era. The composition underscores Rudd's commitment to addressing global issues while maintaining a distinctively Australian voice, resonating with listeners who appreciate music that balances lyrical depth with rhythmic drive.
