Music video
[edit]In the music video, the band plays the song in the rain outside of a house, where a teenage boy is trying to get a girl to talk to him from her bedroom window. During the video, people come out of their houses trying to make the band stop. A policeman comes and takes away Tom DeLonge towards the end, as the boy runs into the girl's house and upstairs to her room to see her. The music video for the song was inspired by the film Say Anything... (1989), and was directed by Alexander Kosta.[4] It can be seen on the Box Car Racer DVD.
