Description: Simple Plan and director Marc Klasfeld create a powerful anti-drunk driving message in the video for this ballad. Things revolve around an accident in which a drunk driver collides with a car driven by a teenage girl. The results are tragic for all involved, in addition to the girl's family. At the moment of impact, the video shifts to her home where her parents and siblings are suddenly jarred out of their normal routines and sent flying, as if they had been hit by a car. Simple Plan's Pierre Bouvier sings at the scene of the incident and at the hospital ER where the video ends and fades into a message from MADD.
