Directed by Aaron Stewart-Ahn and Shawn Kim, it features the band playing in an industrial freezer room. The video also follows a young woman (Lindsay Burdge) who is traveling alone to various places around the world from the point of view of the other person traveling with her. It is assumed that this person, who we never see, but see the young lady through their eyes, is taking her around the world in order to impress her and "possess her heart". "You gotta spend some time love..." as in let me impress you with my money and world travel and then eventually "I will possess your heart."
