A música When Youre Gone foi co-escrita por Bryan Adams e Eliot Kennedy. Foi inspirada pela noção de como a ausência de alguém que se ama pode ter um grande impacto emocional. Bryan Adams foi motivado a escrever a música durante uma turnê, capturando a sensação de falta que muitas pessoas experimentam enquanto estão longe de seus entes queridos.
I've been wandering around the house all night Wond'ring what the hell to do Yeah, I'm trying to concentrate but all I can think of is you Well, the phone don't ring cause my friends ain't home I'm tired of being all alone Got the TV on, cause the radio's playing songs that remind me of you
Baby when you're gone I realize I'm in love Days go on and on And the nights just seem so long Even food don't taste that good Drink ain't doing what it should Things just feel so wrong Baby, when you're gone
Yeah, I've been driving up and down these streets Trying to find somewhere to go Yeah, I'm lookin' for a familiar face but there's no one I know Ah, this is torture, this is pain, it feels like I'm gonna go insane I hope you're coming back real soon cause I don't know what to do
Baby when you're gone (When you're gone) I realize I'm in love Days go on and on (On and on) And the nights just seem so long Even food don't taste that good Drink ain't doing what it should Things just feel so wrong Yeah, baby, when you're gone
Baby when you're gone (When you're gone) I realize I'm in love (I'm in love) Days go on and on And the nights just seem so long Even food don't taste that good Drink ain't doing what it should Things just feel so wrong (So wrong) Baby, when you're gone (You're gone)
