The science-fiction love story created for this music video was written and directed by Rian Johnson, who went on direct Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Johnson also wrote and directed the whodunnit comedy, Knives Out.

The video below is a good example of story told visually with only tangential connection to lyrics. New meaning is created when the song and visual story are experienced together.

Oh baby

Oh baby
You’re having a bad dream
Here in my arms

Oh sugar
You came to me
Could all be a bad thing
Doing harm

Oh lover
You run from me
We move like a bad scene
Shot in the dark

Oh but please
Please wake me
For my love lies patiently
Please baby please
And my love life waits for me

Oh love
You came to me
Are you having a bad time
There in your home

Oh sugar
Give into me
You’re just having a bad dream
Of ringing alarms

Oh but please
Please shake me from my lovesick patient dream
Please baby please
And my love plays wait and see

Oh I’m on my knees
Yeah, I’m on my knees
I promise I’m clean
But my love life waits

You’re already gone
Yeah, you’re already gone
We are already home
My love life stumbles on

Oh baby
Lean into me
There’s always a side door
Into the dark
