I really love this song, there is so much reference to how great the men that fight for our country are for doing what they do, which is true. But they never really talk about what making a decision like that does to the person's family. This song really gets into the emotion of that.
Throughout the song you can understand what it's like for the person ( I'm thinking it's a girlfriend or wife) missing their deployed loved one, but also that the whole thing is just fucked up.
She spends her whole life thinking about it, trying to live normal but really feels it's so fucked up and wants to be normal, and she stays by the phone waiting for the phonecall but what can she really say? that she misses him? he knows that. She is always debating with herself if she should stay and wait around for him or leave but she loves him.
and she remembers the way things used to be, but it seems he cares more about his career than the family itself. so at the end she ends up leaving, and he is left to ask 'Where'd you go?'
