It was released on the band 's YouTube channel and other music channels. The video is quite similar to that of `` We Cry '' in the sense that Danny is once again walking around an urban city and there are also shots of the full band together, in a parking lot this time rather than the flat in `` We Cry ''. However, it is different because there is a more apparent plot in this video. Danny is sitting on the pavement patiently singing about how he is waiting for a girl to come and meet him. Crowds begin to gather round him and he makes the news, becoming something of a celebrity. Near the end of the video there are time lapsed scenes of days passing and we witness Danny in rain and snow, growing older with a larger beard, but still waiting on the pavement. The video ends with a close - up on Danny who is still waiting as the girl has yet to come to him.
