[edit] Music video
A music video for the single was released on November 16, 2007. The video focuses solely on lead singer, Jason Wade, as the rest of the band members do not appear in the video. The video begins by showing Wade sitting alone on a bed, with pictures of him and his girlfriend on the wall. He proceeds to walk around the house, while various things in the room he's in begin to explode around him, such as the bed and pictures in the bedroom, and various food and drink items in the kitchen. Near the end things begin going in reverse, and everything that had exploded is put back together. The video ends with Wade sitting back on the bed, however his girlfriend is now lying next to him. Throughout the video scenes of Wade playing alone in a room filled with lamps are also shown.
The video has been eligible for voting on VH1's VSpot Top 20 Countdown, and has so far reached #6 on the countdown. It retired from the Countdown on May 10, 2008, where it officially made the 20/20 club.
