There is a range of shots establishing the location, such as the waves, the pier and the fair ground, intermitted with shots of the man standing at the pier, and holding a necklace in his hands. The necklace becomes a symbolic recurring motif throughout the video. This opening reveals the end of the narrative before we see what has happened prior to what is being shown and previous events. The aim of this is to intrigue audiences, creating a sense of mystery and suspense.  -Musical Intro-
We are then taken to footage of the boy seen earlier in his car. He is driving alone in the front, looking pensive.There is a shot of the necklace hanging from the interior mirror, reiterating the important motif.There is then a shot of the girl, who puts her arms round the man from the back seat whilst he’s driving. He looks around eagerly to see her but the back seats is empty and we understand it is just his imagination.I long what summer bringsSunlight through open windowsHighlighting a lack of need for any kind of worry
FLASHBACK-The man and the girl are in a living room, cuddling, laughing and kissing. We see the necklace again hanging round the girl’s neck, explaining the significant object.Goes back to the present, we see a shot of him getting out the car when he’s arrived at his destination, and then walks away from the car. I watched the time expireRemove the carpet from my feetOn my living roomAnd with it all I want to keep the safety of my youthI don’t want to go
The boy is now shown walking towards the camera and singing the lyrics directly into it. Perhaps motioning to correlate with the words.He walks past a café and catching sight of it stops in his tracks and looks at it, triggering a flashback of him and the girl.When I hear that bellSignal fire in my headFrom out of this perfect slumber comes crystalline fearThe ring pulses in my earHot blood pumping through my brainFlash grenades remove my sensesI know I’m never going to hear the laughterfrom these streetsI don’t want to goFLASHBACK-Him and the girl are sitting in a café talking and laughing. Romantic and in love. Happy.
And evening’s on the windMorning content to close its eyesI catch a fleeting glance of someone I recogniseBut cannot apprehend the lies a decade in our eyesAn eminence of faithOf prospects unbeknown to meHe walks over to a bench and sits down, he sees someone that he thinks is the girl.  He goes to try and talk to her and taps her on the shoulder, she turns around and it’s a different girl.
He lights a cigaretteThe glinting die is cast at noonA child is leftA man is held in one resounding needA signal fire in my head…A signal fire in my head…And with it all I want to keep the safety of my youthI don’t want to goRepetition of the beginning.
