Music Video Script

[At the start of the music video, before the music starts
we will have shots of a guitar being plugged into an amp,
a tuning of a bass and the drummer getting ready]

[The introductory instrumental will be shots of
the band performing the song in a minimalist setting]

Stay at home tonight
Please give me one night
[Here we'll see the singer in a confrontation
with his girlfriend, singing the lyrics to the song
look at the camera to break the fourth wall]
I wish I could use your eyes to
See what it's like
[The argument still going on, point of view shot
from the girlfriends perspective]

But something
Else was on my
Mind
[Here it flips back to the performance
the band, multiple shots of the singer]

You wanted me to stay at  home
[Here we see the singer walking away from his
girlfriend, tracking shot]
But I didn't want to
[Here the singer puts on a coat leaves the home]
I didn't want to feel alone, or forgotten
[Here we go back to the band performing again,
shots of the band playing]

Because I wanted to go out
[Shots of the singer walking through small roads
and alleys]
To make everybody smile
[Here we will just have a quick shot of the singer
walk in and out of an off license and buy alcohol]
Yes, I wanted to go out, to
Waste my time in the sunshine
[Here we will flip back to the band again, performing
with quick pans and cuts to different angles and shots of the band]

Is it my fault, no not this time
[Here we're still with the band, watching them perform]
I'm trying to say, I don't
Wanna play your game
[Here we'll flip back to the singer outside, walking towards his friend]

There's something you should know
But I'm not gonna tell you
[Performance sequence again]

I started to smile as
You put out the fire
Because it feels right
                                      

I started to smile as
You put out the fire
Because it feels right
[We'll continue performance sequence until here]

I started to smile as
You put out the fire
Because it feels right
[Again we flip back to singer with his friends]

You wanted to stay at
[Quickly flips back to the performance of the singer]
Home, but I didn't want to
No no I didn't wanna feel
Alone or be forgotten

Because I wanted to go out,
To make everybody smile               [This entire verse will be separate shots of the band performing]
Yes, I wanted to go out, to
Waste my time in the sunshine

-Instrumental- [During this instrumental we'd have quick cuts between the performance and the narrative scenes]

Because I wanted to go out,
To make everybody smile
Yes, I wanted to go out, to
Waste my time in the
Sunshine

I wanted to go out, to
Make everybody smile
Yes, I wanted to go out, to
Waste my time in the
Sunshine

Is it my fault

No not this time

I'm trying to say
I don't wanna
Play your game

There's something you
Should know

But I'm not
Gonna tell you

I started to smile as you
Put out the fire                       x2
Because it feels right
