The song's length is 3:07 on the single, but 3:19 in the video and on the album. This is because the song's ending is extended for the album and the video so that it goes another chorus and into a fade out at the end, as opposed to the abrupt ending for the single.
Music video
editThe video (directed by Marc Webb) is primarily focused on Matt Thiessen's efforts to reclaim a soccer ball his girlfriend (Jonna Walsh) kicks near the beginning of the song. During sporadic shots, the band (with Thiessen) plays (alternately) in a bowling alley and in front of a lake. The friendly pop rock, and guitar-laced rhythms smooth the quick shots and transitions between scenes and locations as the camera follows the flight of the ball. Thiessen challenges a tamales vendor, a police officer, a little girl, a library student, and a construction worker, among others, to get the ball and the girl's attention. The song's ending is slightly extended, and ends in a fadeout instead of the single's abrupt stop after the last chorus. As of January 28, 2013, the music video has over 3.2 million views on YouTube.[3]
