What Where Is My Man is about
A late-night lament with an empty glass and a full ashtray. She's been patient and good and still nobody is next to her, but she leaves the light on anyway.
Where Is My Man lyrics
Midnight calls but it’s just the wind
Neon lights on my skin again
Empty glass and a full ashtray
Same old song on a different day
Mirror talks but it tells me lies
Says I’m fine but I see through eyes
That are tired of waiting here
For a love that don’t appear
I’ve been good, I’ve been patient
I’ve been everything they said I should be
But the nights keep stretching
And there’s nobody next to me
Where is my man
Where is my fire
Someone who pulls me into the wire
Where is my man
Where is my truth
Someone who feels like something I lose
I don’t want perfect, I don’t want plans
I just want something I can’t understand
So tell me again
Where is my man
City moves but I stand still
Chasing highs that don’t quite fill
All the space that you would take
If you ever found your way
Every face is a maybe now
Every touch just fades somehow
Like a shadow I can’t hold
Like a story never told
I’ve been close, I’ve been almost
I’ve been seconds from a real thing
But it slips through my fingers
Like a ghost I can’t keep
Where is my man
Where is my fire
Someone who pulls me into the wire
Where is my man
Where is my truth
Someone who feels like something I lose
I don’t want perfect, I don’t want plans
I just want something I can’t understand
So tell me again
Where is my man
Maybe he’s out there in the dark
Looking for a missing part
Maybe we’re just out of time
Or just a moment out of line
Or maybe love don’t come when called
Maybe it don’t come at all
But I’ll still leave the light on
Where is my man
Where is my fire
Someone who burns but don’t fade in the wire
Where is my man
Where is my truth
Someone who feels like I’ve known you
I don’t want perfect, I don’t want plans
I just want something I can’t understand
So tell me again
Where is my man
Still asking
Where is my man
