Music video

The music video, for the most part, features band members Ryan Guldemond, Molly Guldemond, and Jasmin Parkin sitting in a white room with Ryan on one couch and the two women on the other. Molly and Jasmin are dressed oddly, and also have bizarre hairstyles. The two are giving Ryan a counseling session, and what they talk about appear as images on the walls. Occasionally, band members Ali Siadat and Jeremy Page also can be seen sitting on the couch with Ryan. The video also cuts to scenes of the band performing in the (presumably) same white room.
