• Comments: A friend of mine once told me that, "everyone is looking for someone to pin their dreams on." This video is about attaching ourselves to another person--who we think will take us to the pinnacle of happiness--and realizing the fantasy outshines them. Either we give up the person closest to us, or we abandon the dream and live with our "eyes shut wide" to our lover's faults and failings.
  
  This video is not a recap of the movie itself. While various elements of the actual storyline are used, the feeling I wanted to project is quite different from the movie's conclusion.

  Song Lyrics
  
  It's 3 a.m. and I have been
  In my head for quite some time
  Every fear, every tear
  Has been swirling in my mind
  And there are still a hundred reasons
  I shouldn't walk away
  Do I love you if I leave you?
  You have no name
  
  I was up all night
  Waiting for some kind of miracle
  I was up all night
  Feeling alone in the universe
  I was up all night
  
  When morning comes
  I will tell you (I will tell you)
  It's life I have to chase
  But every song that I sing
  Will be written by your face
  
  And if you're really meant to be
  Then you'll be back again
  And I watch as your beginning
  Turns into the end
  
  I was up all night (I was up all night)
  Waiting for some kind of miracle
  I was up all night (I was up all night)
  Feeling alone in the universe
  If it's you or if it's me I save
  I'm still throwing it all away
  I was up all night
  
  Oh, the kick inside
  In the dark you hide
  And we both know how the end will be
  In your little tide
  With your eyes shut wide
  And we both know how the end will be
  How it will be
  
  I was up all night (I was up all night)
  Feeling alone in the universe
  If it's you or if it's me I save
  I'm still throwing it all away
  I was up all night
  
  I was up all night (I'm bending until I break for you)
  I was up all night
  Night
  Night
  Night
