Music video

The music video, directed and enacted by Scott Winig, depicts a series of what seems like predictions made by a young woman. It starts off showing the outside of a motel, and flips inside to show a young couple. The boyfriend leaves the room, walks out onto the driveway, and gets into his car. His girlfriend follows him out shortly after because he forgot his necklace. As soon as he pulls out into the road, he is slammed in to by a truck, thus killing him. This is revealed to be a nightmare, thought up by the girlfriend. These series of events repeat a few times, with minor variations each time. The last time the girlfriend wakes up, the "predictions" of what she thought was going to happen seem to be proven false. One of the final shots is of the girlfriend looking out a window and seeing the truck that would have killed her boyfriend pass by. However, the boyfriend is not there. Between the shots of the couple, there are shots of the band playing in a graveyard and the video ends with Matt Tuck crouching over what seems to be the coffin of the boyfriend.
