When you're gone的节奏感很强,让人忍不住要跟着打拍子,但歌词却略带苦涩伤感:歌曲动人演绎了一位失去爱侣的男孩那种彷徨无措和无限失意的心情,由布莱恩那沙哑的歌喉唱出来还真有些催人泪下的感觉。
i've been wandering around the house all night
wondering what the hell to do
i'm trying to concentrate but all i can think of is you
well the phone don't ring cuz my friends ain't home
i'm tired of being all alone
got the tv on cuz the radio's playing songs that remind me of you
baby when you're gone - i realize i'm in love
the 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
i've been driving up and down these streets
trying to find somewhere to go
ya i'm lookin' for a familiar face but there's no one i know
this is torture - this is pain - it feels like i'm gonna go insane
I hope you're coming back real soon -cuz i don't know what to do
