However, they still end up missing each other by mere seconds and never meet up. At the end of the video, they both wind up at the same nightclub. As the video progresses, Dan and his girlfriend switch sides of screen, as they attempt to meet up. The other side features a woman (played by Denise Franco), who is playing the part of the singer Dan Wilson's girlfriend. One side shows the band playing the song in a rehearsal space. It features two continuous shots, running side by side on the screen. The music video was directed by Chris Applebaum. In concert Dan Wilson has confirmed that the song was written in anticipation of fatherhood but that he disguised it because he knew his bandmates would get sick of playing a song about his kids. The book So You Wanna Be a Rock & Roll Star ( ISBN 0-7679-1470-8) by Semisonic's drummer Jacob Slichter indicates that the song was written partly in response to the anxious, and at times precarious, state of the band during the opening of Wilson's new bar, The Rehab Lounge, which closed in late 2008 however, Slichter has also indicated that the song was written by Wilson "in anticipation of fatherhood", and that it is about "being sent forth from the womb as if by a bouncer clearing out a bar".
