The second version,shot in full colour and directed by Liz Friedlander,was released in May 2000. This became the video released to the British and European markets;the music video for the international version was filmed in downtown Toronto,Ontario,Canada.
The synopsis for the second version of the video begins with Dido wearing all blue clothing shooting a scene in all blue coloured bedroom set. After finishing filming she cleans herself up and takes a long walk on the streets in Downtown,Toronto. After stopping at a coffee shop to buy herself some coffee Dido immediately drops it and continues walking the streets alone thus dropping her coat in the process.
The video ends with Dido letting herself in at an apartment,where she finds a man asleep and then lies next to him in his bed before the shot zooms out to reveal itself to be a photograph with Dido back in her blue clothes and bedroom set again holding it,then turns it over and pushes it against her chest.
