Is it just me but did they just made an allusion about how they've grow up? I mean, if you think about it, this video has the same format as Never Meant. A couple that looks like they are perfect and complete each other but, as the time goes by, things just get bad and they end up breaking up. The only difference is that on Never Meant, it's a teenage couple, having fun at parties, and etc. But here it's a married couple that have fun on their day to day living. Also I wanna compare this to the growth of the band as a whole. I mean, if you compare LP1 with LP2 (and apparently, LP3 too). We could see a complete emo band formed by teens at the american midwest trying to get out of their chest everything they want to say about their hearts that were broken: "Let's just pretend everything and anything between you and me was never meant". But here (and also on LP2) we have married men with more mature relationships that not just suffers about their broken hearts, but use more metaphors to demonstrate it: "The muscle memory continue to haunt me". We can see this if you compare the two videos. The first one is a teenage couple that had met on a record store, and we focus on the fun they had together, little things like, listening to music together, taking pics, walking on the park and etc... But here we already begin with a metaphor about how the man, alone and lost meet the woman of his life: he just wakes up on the middle of nowhere and finds her, and it feels like they were meant to be together (see what i did here?). Also now we have some focus on their wedding rings and their conversations at table, her having some laughs at some bad jokes... But there's two things that we've found in common, and that is the two videos have this moment where the couples are apart and it just feels strange, kinda like they were NEVER MEANT and had just realized that. The other thing is that on both songs we can feel the composers' hearts broken. Also ours.
