Music video

In the music video, the band plays the song in the rain outside of a house, where a teenage boy is trying to get a girl to talk to him from her bedroom window. During the video, people come out of their houses trying to make the band stop. A policeman comes and takes away Tom DeLonge towards the end, as the boy runs into the girl's house (Matt Skiba`s ex-wife) and upstairs to her room to see her. The music video for the song was inspired by the film Say Anything... (1989), and was directed by Alexander Kosta.[3] It can be seen on the Box Car Racer DVD.
