Music video

The video starts with an unnamed boy waking up. He then walks to school while writing in his diary. He takes a break from writing and looks around the town on his way to school. When the lyrics "I'm on a long journey through mountains of apathy" go on, the boy walks through mountains. He walks by a tree with a tree house and decides to go up and write about it. The boy then draws two birds who come to life and pick him up into the sky and make him fly. The birds then drop him; the boy has a parachute and manages to maneuver his way to school. He gets to his desk and draws his teacher as a centaur and gets caught. The girl beside him looks over at him and he immediately falls in love with her. A giant heart comes in between them and then flies away.
