My thoughts: One of my favs from POM to this day the meaning of the song gets to me...Towards the end of the video it shows Jordan (Wes's actual son) driving off in the back seat with a man and a woman in the front seat (presumably Jordan's mother and stepfather), as Wes watches the car sadly, Which unfortunately many Fathers have to deal with. Did you know that the video was directed by Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst...I think he did a pretty good job of getting the meaning out there~
