The MISSING

The MISSING is the theme song of The Missing. A snippet of it plays when the game's title appears onscreen after JJ is struck by lightning and gains the power to regenerate. A longer version of its ballad form plays on the jukebox in the diner. The full version plays near the ending, as JJ is returning to Emily. The entire song can be listened to on JJ's phone after completing the game once.

Lyrics
Why try to step back in time to when our lives felt more simple

To when each day was better than the last, when nothing felt quite as great

Blue skies come ease the pain, I feel the spirits back to haunt me

Meanwhile the sun hangs so far away and casts no shadows on anyone

So tell me the reason we're here, the reason we're living

Show me a way to understand all the things that I'm feeling

Take me down those old cobbled streets where we used to meet

Maybe that way I can see the sun and the stars again

Why try to step back in time when things were like they'd last forever

We were so young, so happy to believe, but those days are done and gone

So show me a way to see how far from you I've been driven

Tell me that everything is okay and I'm forgiven

Take me down those cobbled streets where we used to meet

Maybe that way I can see the sun and the stars again

If I saw your face again here at the journey's end

Maybe there would still be time for you to mend my heart

Lately, beyond the misty mountains on a cold morning

Faintly, I hear the voice of someone just like you calling

Tell me that what I hear is true and I am not-a dreaming

Show me the way that I can find all the answers I'm seeking

Steady, the fire burns my skin but I cannot-a feel it

Ready, tonight, to take a bullet with my name on it

Take me down those old cobbled streets where we used to meet

Maybe that way I can see the sun and the stars again

The sun and the stars again

Oooh, oooh
