[edit] Music video

The music video shows the band cruising around a seemingly abandoned city, along with the occasional shot of the band playing in the middle of an empty football stadium, accompanied by a string section. As the video goes on, the band splits in three separate ways: Nick finds his way into an abandoned store and proceeds to joyride on a shopping cart (while knocking items off the shelves), Tyson finds a convertible and does donuts in a parking lot, and Mike and Chris go to a golf course, plug in a TV, eat snacks, and drink beer. Near the end of the video, the city is suddenly repopulated. Tyson is stopped by a police officer, Nick is found out by a cashier girl, and Mike and Chris are seen by other golfer men.
