James Walsh leaving the band's room in the music video.

The video starts in a room where the band is playing.

The singer, James Walsh left the room with a big cup of coffee in his hands and starts to walk slowly after he throws the cup.

Since he walked the shadows starts to prosecute him but that doesn't change the peaceful environment of the whole video. At the end the shadows catch him and the music stops symbolising the step between life and death when James is in a total darkness- that could be interpreted the end of his life.

Then, the lights come back and James starts again his walk after his blue eyes are caught by the lights of the camera as the first shot which means a "comeback to life".
