About the strange ending: If taken metaphorically, it means that: Young love and foolishness is very fun and probably the best time of your life, but it doesnt last long, and eventually dies off. No matter what you do, you can never go back in time and be young and have fun again. If taken literally, aka just what we see in the video, it means that: Being open and trusting people easily can be good since you can find friends and love without too much effort, have fun with the person you love etc, but if you do that, you run the risk of them hurting you. That is why we see the girl killing the guy at the end, she seemed like a good person and she was very fun and open with her feelings, but she was dangerous, and trusting her was a mistake.

[@midnighttrain7844]

the genre Disneycore/Emo-pop sums it up itself lol

[@JIMBOBJUNIOR]

It's been 3 years and the ending still gives me shivers.

[@MyKingduck]

I think the message was clear..... DO NOT PICK UP HITCH HIKERS

[@Kingwij]

Even people you love the most can and probably will hurt you.

[@YaBoiiiNikki]

Most won't drag your dead body tho.

[@Spyderkid15]

NikkiDiamond I just bursted out laughing when I read that.

[@YaBoiiiNikki]

kidofskate12 I'm glad it made you laugh c:

[@monicasheldrake]

Omg I have to agree with Nikki made me laugh to but wow what an ending

[@valentinafangirling]

and after a month that I saw this video I'm still fucked up over the ending

[@onedirectionaustinm]

A month later; -still fucked up.

[@Gam3Grl]

Depression mode: Activate

[@monicasheldrake]

Me too

[@California0407]

Ecxat! And that's why I don't like music videos... :(

[@julianam.6411]

I think the video is actually pretty good, in fact is one of my favorites because it's a metaphor. He trusted her since the beginning, he made her happy and she was just being selfish. When she's done playing with him, she backstabs him (not literally, but it shows how painful it is when the person you loved the most betrays you).

[@mackenzieadams4580]

THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T PICK UP HITCHHIKERS, lesson learned young ones.

[@jasmineramos1875]

Two years later... and this video still fucks me up

[@oliviahenderson5318]

it was all cute then bam, literal bam she wacked him over the head with a crowbar

[@landofhobos8028]

i know right haha

[@millieh7342]

I could kinda see her killing him coming, but the weird part for me was dragging the body behind the car afterwards.

[@WhatsernameIsTheName]

i just got the vibe that being so in love makes you vulnerable

[@Still_point_turning_world_2]

Who knew 😬

[@emmacandon1751]

No. No no no NO NO NO NO NO NO WHAT JUST HAPPENED !?!??!? NO!!

[@myabarrens9070]

My thoughts exactly

[@ukaszmatusiak2037]

Emma Candon Hahaha best Happy End ever ^_^

[@jpdrogbathunder]

I know this may sound strange but i think that the ending is suppose to be a metaphor that you can never go back to young love but it stays with you forever, young love is dumb and that's why it dies cause it's fragile, therefore, she kills him cause they can never go back to the way they were but she takes his body cause she'll never forget him, lol i don't know even i'm confused now

[@ashc5270]

jpdrogbathunder. That actually made a lot of sense and cleared it up for me so thanks 👍

[@kathleen2091]

WHAT THE......... What the..... What?! What? what..........

[@GamingWithSpoons]

Rememeber the good old days before the Summer Set was big. I remember being a fan of them before they were even signed. Friends on Myspace with the since 2007. Awesome back then and still Awesome today. LONG LIVE THE SUMMER SET.

[@Settohn]

Still a better love story than twilight.

[@Pickleandrepeat]

lolll

[@teenzset8827]

You just killed ever 13 year old

[@nikkiweinheimer94]

i loved sing along to this on on saturday in brisbane!

[@briaylabowlen985]

It actually makes a lot of sense..you fall in love then they backstab you..or just don't trust hitchhikers..

[@kimmeedao1335]

THIS IS THE GREATEST PLOT TWIST EVER

[@DBO7455]

who ever made this video deserves an Oscar!!! (life is never that simple, reality overcomes fantasies)

[@iLikeBitingBubbles]

So your saying killing someone and tying them to the back of the car is reality?

[@DBO7455]

Gimme your number and I'll explain to you wat reality is ;p

[@iLikeBitingBubbles]

Haha no :P I'll probably end up dead and tied to a car because thats what "reality" is in your mind :P

[@DBO7455]

LOL :D there you go, that's the answer. Atta gal ;)

[@iLikeBitingBubbles]

I'm learning! :D

[@inetxem8000]

When I first came up with this song and checked the video, the ending got me shocked, but after some years and listening (to which personally is the nº1 song by Summer Set) it is a really good metaphor of how youth can be: fast, wild, free, happy... but it gets always coming to an end

[@marisolbarragan6632]

Okey what the fuck? Lmfao! I have heard this song a lot on Pandora. So I was like oh yea I should look it up on KZbin to see if it has a video. Well fuck now I regret it. This will forever ruin the song. Hahaha I will imagine this crazy girl just murdering this poor guy.

[@jimjam12000]

Oh wow!!!!! What a Ending, I never expected it!!

[@valentinafangirling]

Well what a nice ending

[@zeeventuresph]

A SWEET CUTE BEGINNING AND ENDS WITH SUCH HILARIOUS ENDING. :(

[@valentinafangirling]

MAJOR UPDATE ITS BEEN 10 MONTHS AND IM STILL TRYING TO FIGURATE OUT WHY

[@laurenmills2724]

Valentina Fangirling ITS BEEN FIVE YEARS AND WE’RE STILL TRYING

[@ellanurkanovic3500]

It’s June 2019 and I don’t get it still

[@GrumbleGamer18]

Ella Nurkanovic it’s a metaphor for young love

[@Still_point_turning_world_2]

Me to I guess it's ...young love eventually dies and u can't go back

[@valentinafangirling]

@@Still_point_turning_world_2 your comment’s notification brought me back to the summer set days. Can’t thank u enough for this sjdjdjdj i’m gonna binge the shit out of the legendary album now.

[@TenshiRosee]

I used to love this song when I was in 3rd or 4th grade, I’m 15 now. It’s still pretty darn good

[@lisetvanginkel2466]

still not fucking over this after 3 years

[@xoxoangelindisguise]

Awesome band! Love from singapore!

[@St0rmshii]

Okay, now I feel really sad for that guy. It looked like they had an amazing time until she did that. I'm not sure if she killed him or just knocked him out, but wow. I began to tense up when she brought out the knife.

[@altosaxophone1028]

Bruh dat man dead.

[@GrumbleGamer18]

He’s definitely dead lol, considering he’s tied from the neck to the car, if the crowbar didn’t do it, the driving will

[@DrearyRainClowds]

This has got to be my number one favourite song by the Summer Set . It just melts my heart and brings me back to my senior year of highschool =3

[@jessicahenderson6144]

When it goes from pop to punk real fast

[@scottyritchie93]

Nearly 6 years on & this still fucks me up

[@itssawol1060]

LYRICS Do you remember? Back when We fell in love in your best friends basement Spun the bottle and hoped it would land on you Thought we were cool, listening to Zeppelin Making out on the stairway to heaven Nowhere to go, so we slept out on the roof But now, we hardly even speak, at all Looking back, how did we get away? I never thought that we'd surrender When I was yours and you were mine Never regret, no, we learned how to love When we were young Snuck out in your daddy's ride At the drive in, making love for the first time Forget the silver screen, it's a wonderful life But now, we hardly even speak, at all Looking back, how did we get away? I never thought that we'd surrender When I was yours and you were mine Never regret, no, we learned how to love When we were young and still together No, there was nothing left to prove Never regret no, we learned how to love When we were young and reckless Dumb and fearless FIghting in the streets Will you remember me? Young forever, back then Never knew the first love's the hardest I never thought that we'd surrender When I was yours and you were mine Never regret, no, we learned how to love When we were young and still together No, there was nothing left to prove Never regret no, we learned how to love When we were young. When we were young. When we were young. When we were young

[@hafidzftrchmn]

Never regret, we learned how to love.. When we were young..

[@briannatorres6465]

WTF WAS THAT THEY WHETE HAVING SUCH A GOOD TIME TILL THIS GIRL GOT POSSESSED AND KILLED HIM LIKE WTF

[@HazenDemietrie603]

lmao omg , so the explicit part is when you say wtf when seeing he end of the video lol

[@imchamp4324]

Damn that was very unexpected jeez

[@lilcvlty9806]

Brianna Torres Like wtf them being on illegal property having fun escalated QUICK!

[@ashleykoch5225]

This is why I love tss. They will almost make a boring video about love, but they gotta add that one twist. They just have too!

[@sdorgham3]

every guy who see's this wont even stop for a hitchhiker and just push the pedal.

[@landofhobos8028]

well it was good till she killed him lol.

[@opi4284]

agree

[@dontknow405]

omg i never watched the ending to this video until now!

[@celestialrose2376]

Whoa. Biggest. Plot twist. Ever.

[@mbrown6732]

Legendary music video

[@haydengrimm7814]

"Hey babe, I found a video of something we should act out sometime" -watches until the END, but only AFTER telling her to watch it- "So you just want to do normal shit then?"

[@iamsuperllamagirl]

awe i'm so soppy, this made me cry

[@fanofBTR]

Moral of the story: don't pick people off the road, they will kill you.

[@lovel3xy]

the song lyrics are amazing.... the video was great... until the end. that just freaked me out.

[@user-kn8zw5yn5q]

Well that escalated quickly...

[@gennie541]

BEST PLOT TWIST EVER OMFG

[@icantgetthenameiwant]

When I watch this video, I can't watch it anymore... I have to just listen.

[@briaylabowlen985]

#stillwatchingin2015

[@yeastu]

best video ever!! for all the kids that don't understand it, all I can say is...good

[@fridagonzalez9084]

I don't care if the ending was a metaphor , it was still depressing and sad 😭😩

[@BrownskinnChronicles]

this video should literally be at like 8 mil views I've loved this since 9th grade & I'm 20 now 😂

[@davidjoshualuneta1470]

2019 anyone?

[@beepboop426]

Me lmao

[@nouradw9692]

This song is just ahhh. Brings a lot of memories

[@katielou1067]

Well that escalated quickly

[@danieiheart]

I just added all of their songs to my music playlist . Instantly fell in LOVE with this band !

[@lorenag.5280]

Well shit, don't even have the decency to bury the guy??

[@ashleyxelizabeth]

Wait what!? That end just.. WHAT!? i might actually cry. People think "oh what a stereotypical video" oh no no no, just wait till the fucking end.

[@oliviafoster314]

Still a better love story than twilight

[@aMidSumerNight]

The Wheel Of Time Moves Ever Forward!

[@nhuphan5370]

wtf? what kind of ending is tht?

[@onuhrita5009]

I remember listening to this song like 2016 and loving it. Something just triggered the song again and I had even forgotten the name. Thank goodness I had already watched the video like 2 years ago so I could easily find it. I think the ending of the video traumatized me then and I just forgot about it. Still love it though

[@Angie7041]

So I thought this was going to be another little love story.. WELL I GUESS NOT.

[@lovel3xy]

221. that is the amount of times I have listened to this song in the past 7 days. best song ever.

[@valentinafangirling]

I bet the ending was Josh's idea. Edit 6 years later: funny how me and Josh have come out of the closet since then lmaoooo

[@emiliairheart]

I think it was

[@valentinafangirling]

Emily Miller I swear it was either Josh or John I could bet my life on it

[@emiliairheart]

Valentina Fangirling haha me too

[@rouskeycarpel8652]

Valentina Fangirling who is josh.

[@dakuboss7509]

When we were young.

[@goemon9378]

Volvo 240!

[@lyviad104]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels like way about the end

[@MASK26.]

She probably got bored of loving him or the knife pillow gave her an idea to kill him

[@SummerSimms]

lets take this back 2005 when that boy was still alive.

[@Rahgnar2006]

This video made me cry with happiness and then guffaw with shock and mortification. I drive a 240 and this reminds me of a girl I briefly dated.

[@jocelynwashington4623]

i loved it but... y did she kill him??

[@danielbear1248]

It's metaphorical i think, representing her breaking up with him (EG the time with the knife where she nearly did) and showing the pain it caused him

[@angelrosas5234]

+Dan G oh I thought that it was because she was afraid of the possibility of him leaving her.. she was afraid of losing her new found love and didn't want to go through that pain. well that was just what I thought

[@danielbear1248]

Angel Rosas I'm not saying my interpretation is the only one, nor the correct one, and i hadn't thought about it that way, but i suppose it certainly could be a reason for why

[@broganmcleod2556]

Hopefully lol.

[@salsaucy2547]

Jocelyn Washington moral of the story: trust nobody, even those you love

[@widashi]

when we were young!!! much story life

[@leslieshinkle9588]

That was horrific.

[@bobbymchone7359]

Great song !

[@olivia7498]

Wait.. but like couldn't she like of killed him like before cuz that would of saved so much more time but like what why drag the body away like what

[@siiyaaaaaa429]

I say like alot

[@pipboy3000PS3]

love her with everything you've got boys.

[@obsessedwithsweets24]

Dafuq did I just watch, I mean did she really have to do that?

[@jerzeeimhof8883]

this video is JACKED UP

[@officialcatapultgaming6838]

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands!

[@iunnowhut]

I saw them live. Now this makes me want to cry... come back to Manila soon! :(

[@farhiyaadan5512]

Wtf what happen I'm the end ?? Lol

[@themagicalmystery3936]

I was really not ready for that ending!

[@nachostacos5421]

I'm not surprised that she killed him she was a random hitch hiker but why drag his body with the car?

[@etet8072]

it's saying love can hurt and is not always right match lesson is don't think that someone's perfect a first sight

what the hell about the end :v

[@fernandosousa5480]

Omg seriously wtf, makes no sense

[@aurorasighs]

Well in my perception it is pretty simple: His love to this girl basically hurts him physically, as well as emotionally and eventually even kills him. Yet he wouldn´t choose another way to die over dying because of her. For one part this expresses his dedication to her and for another part his everlasting youth. Since if he dies because of her, he will die young and not old ( here meaining; boring, calm, doing nothing too crazy). Just as MIA once said; Live fast, die young

[@ilovecupcakes123ify]

Ikr !!!! 😭💔

:'v

[@LaelKezia22]

I thought at first it was a typical love story :-D .. then,, at the end I realized.. THAT WAS ONE SICK VIDEO :- l ...

[@beccihurley3253]

it was cute and everything until she killed him. what a strange end. not bad, just unexpected.

[@sarayanewman2984]

This reminds me of the end to the music video for Call Me Maybe

[@ilovecupcakes123ify]

U know why he gave his number to the guy in call me maybe right ?? 👌... It was Bc he was gay ! 👊👌

[@sarayanewman2984]

Yeah, I know...but it was a plot twist, just like this

[@jackelinreyes8976]

wtf? what hell

[@adrian383]

I saw them live yesterday and they played this song. Brian said it's actually about killing someone. Not a love story like everyone thinks.

[@charlottewierdsongs]

every time i watch this video i always read the comments because it makes me laugh :)

[@marucabrera3807]

3 years and it is still the best song EVER... im crying :(

[@OGFishFace]

I love this video so much. It should be made into a real movie. With this song in it.

[@LoneWolf-pp7kg]

THIS SONG NOW HAS A FESTIAL NAMED EXACTLY LIKE THE TITLE AND THEY WEREN'T INCLUDED!??? WHY

[@madisonmcdonald]

Uhh I don't have any idea what to say...the ending surprised me!

[@OmgItsAmandaaa123]

WHAT EVEN. ASDFGHJKL. MY EMOTIONS CAN'T HANDLE THIS.

[@VeronaTB]

I get the whole "deeper meaning" but seriously, wtf!? The Summer Set are so upbeat and happy and cute (ie, Boomerang music video) and then there's this!

[@NarikoHimawari]

love the song...

[@svicvw.vpuvwv]

Oh my gosh._. I didn't not expect for it to end like that.

[@alleherso]

Wooow!!!! Such a beautiful video, i been hitchhiking for many times and it's the best moments of my life, Guys if. U can do it please. Let ur lives be free. Luv is amzing !!!

[@JennifferDM]
