In the opening scene,Tyler gets ready for another workday in the close quarters of an aircraft carrier,putting on a suit and eating breakfast while singing the first verse. Kali Uchis appears far away at sea singing the chorus on a rescue boat with other rowers,who jump off the boat near the end of the verse. [5] The second verse shifts to Tyler on the top deck of the military ship,donning a yellow beret,while soldiers walk behind him. The scene also shows him jumping and walking atop the soldier's heads,with another person covered in shadows singing the pre-chorus while a man plays trumpet behind him. The scene then shifts to a figure covered in a ghost bed sheet,with the eyes poked out and a bucket hat. At the end of the video,the sheet is pulled off revealing the figure being made up of bees which fly towards the screen. [6]
