[edit] Music video

The music video was made up from various clips of the band performing live and traveling around the U.S. to gigs. The band said that the song was supposed to show that they were homesick. Jack Marin (ex-Cute Is What We Aim For bassist) can be seen for a short period of time in the crowd. The police in the video were The Arlington Heights Police Department and had the show shut down, but Fall Out Boy apologized to them, and thanked them for being in their video. They also thanked their close friend Kathryn Cook for helping them come up with the idea for the video. One of the venues in the video is the Knights of Columbus Hall in Arlington Heights, Illinois.
