Music video
The video begins as Guy Sebastian starts singing the song as a red hooded figure on a porch of a house. The scene switches to a boy (possibly him as a child) who has a girlfriend though they are possibly ten or twelve years old. As the song goes of scenes of Guy continuing on that porch the childhood girlfriend moves away and the young Guy hops on a bike and scooter and travels the world searching for her. They finally find each other and the swing and play together being happy and the video ends with the adult Guy pulling up his hood and walking off.
