While You Were Gone Video (MV)

One day I'll travel to wide open places
But right now you can't make me go
I'll pack up my bags and tie up my laces
Pick a spot on the map and leave home
In six weeks my passport's good to go anywhere overseas
I heard there are things you don't wanna miss
And I heard you been missing me

So I'll go talk to your friends
And I'll smile, you know it's pretend
'Cause you're miles away from me again

While you were gone
I kept calm, carried on
But next time don't leave for so long

I'll ride a horse through the desert
The sunset gold on my face
Running from thieves, and looking for treasure
Riding an ocean wave

Wild fires and ice like knives
And those lions, tigers, and you
Water and wind and the puzzle we're in
To figure out what to do

So I'll go talk to you friends
And I'll smile, you know it's pretend
'Cause you're miles away from me again and

While you were gone
I kept calm, carried on
But next time don't leave for so long

Six weeks discovering Bali
And I wake up dreaming of Raleigh
You can't make me forget about all of my plans

Your plane lands at 5:22 in the AM
I'm watching for you from the pavement
Keep saying I'm fine but I'm caving

While you were gone
I kept calm, carried on
But next time don't leave for so long

I'll go talk to your friends
And I'll smile you know it's pretend
'Cause you're miles away from me again
