[edit] Music video

The music video begins with a young man riding his bike to a party. Then being passed by a few girls in a black car while listening to The Remedy, another song from Humanistic. The girls enter the party as the boy locks his bike up. Then the video cuts to Tommy Walter and the band playing at the party, and in a room by themselves (possibly before or after the party). One of the girls (the blonde) is enjoying herself when she sees a boy (presumbly her boyfriend) making out with a girl, she confronts them. Her boyfriend smiles and walks of with his other girl. Then cut to or dorky hero dancing at the party, the blonde takes notice of him and Tommy smiles at his dancing. She tells her friends "let's go". They laugh her off and she exits. Then cut her sitting on the car, she waits, the boy comes out and begins to unlock his bike. The ex-boyfriend and his new fling walk out too, the girl takes the boy with the bike and tells him to get into to the car, looks back at her ex smugly and she hooks up with the boy in the back of the car. Later on the boy keeps calling and nagging at the girl. She constantly avoids him, she goes out for a drive and he follows behind her. She weaves in and around trying to lose him, while seeing him, the band and thinking she's finally hit him with the car she crashes. The boy is seen in the passenger window, he opens the door and grabs his light reflector that he wore in the beginning of the video and leaves her stranded.
