<P> The music video, which was directed by David McClister, premiered on CMT on May 27, 2010 . In the video, the band is shown setting Kimberly Perry in a canoe before pushing it off into the river . Perry is holding a book containing poems by Tennyson, including The Lady of Shalott, which the book is opened to at the end of the music video . The video echoes a scene in Anne of Green Gables in which Anne attempts to appear as the Lady of the poem . Kimberly's mother and her love interest (played by Kyle Kupecky) are shown plucking flower petals and visibly depressed that she has left them . Eventually, her canoe begins to take on water, she sits up . Once this occurs her brothers come back for her . When she gets back to her house, her mother and love interest embrace her . The video was filmed on location at Two Rivers Mansion outside of Nashville, Tennessee . Throughout the video, the band is also shown performing with their instruments inside of the house . </P> <P> In 2013, Naya Rivera performed the song as her character Santana Lopez in the fifth season tribute episode "The Quarterback" of the television series Glee, in honor of Cory Monteith, who played character Finn Hudson on the show . The song peaked at number eighty - eight on the UK Singles Chart . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> <H3> Weekly charts (edit) </H3> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Chart (2010--12) </Th> <Th> Peak position </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Canada (Canadian Hot 100) </Td> <Td> 48 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Ireland (IRMA) </Td> <Td> 37 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> South Korea International Singles (Gaon) </Td> <Td> 16 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> UK Singles (Official Charts Company) </Td> <Td> 82 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Hot 100 </Td> <Td> 14 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Adult Contemporary (Billboard) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Adult Top 40 (Billboard) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Hot Country Songs (Billboard) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Mainstream Top 40 (Billboard) </Td> <Td> 12 </Td> </Tr> </Table> </Td> <Td> <H3> Year - end charts (edit) </H3> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Chart (2010) </Th> <Th> Position </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Hot 100 </Td> <Td> 92 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Country Songs (Billboard) </Td> <Td> 37 </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Chart (2011) </Th> <Th> Position </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Hot 100 </Td> <Td> 35 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Country Songs (Billboard) </Td> <Td> 82 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Pop Songs (Billboard) </Td> <Td> 49 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Adult Contemporary (Billboard) </Td> <Td> 13 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Adult Pop Songs (Billboard) </Td> <Td> 22 </Td> </Tr> </Table> </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Td> <H3> Weekly charts (edit) </H3> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Chart (2010--12) </Th> <Th> Peak position </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Canada (Canadian Hot 100) </Td> <Td> 48 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Ireland (IRMA) </Td> <Td> 37 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> South Korea International Singles (Gaon) </Td> <Td> 16 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> UK Singles (Official Charts Company) </Td> <Td> 82 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Hot 100 </Td> <Td> 14 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Adult Contemporary (Billboard) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Adult Top 40 (Billboard) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Hot Country Songs (Billboard) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Mainstream Top 40 (Billboard) </Td> <Td> 12 </Td> </Tr> </Table> </Td> <Td> <H3> Year - end charts (edit) </H3> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Chart (2010) </Th> <Th> Position </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Hot 100 </Td> <Td> 92 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Country Songs (Billboard) </Td> <Td> 37 </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Chart (2011) </Th> <Th> Position </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Billboard Hot 100 </Td> <Td> 35 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Country Songs (Billboard) </Td> <Td> 82 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Pop Songs (Billboard) </Td> <Td> 49 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Adult Contemporary (Billboard) </Td> <Td> 13 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> US Adult Pop Songs (Billboard) </Td> <Td> 22 </Td> </Tr> </Table> </Td> </Tr>
