Best depiction of a break up (literarily with the diamonds from her eyes)
First, your ex rescues you (with a blow up pool) and you get back together.
Next a hot rebound saves you (with teamwork from strangers). 
Next, not so great as you explode on the sidewalk (self explanatory).
Next, you reflect on the relationship and cry and loose a but of your soul (diamonds from your eyes)
Finally you literally land on your own feet, stronger for the journey but also weaker from the loss (diamonds from her eyes)
Bravo everyone involved and thanks for your art.

This band doesn't get enough credit that they deserve

[lumistical]

I listened to F&TT all day, and realized they don't get enough credit. They deserve it, their songs are incredible. Not only just The Walker.

[Boylaloo]

everyone is talking about the physics of the video and I'm just here realizing it's about a woman's emotional state during a break up and the first fall when her bf caught her using a swimming pool is just her wishful thinking that they could be together again but it won't. then the second fall where a guy called for help to catch the girl symbolizes the girl trying to fill in the void in her heart by seeing other guy but that didn't help either to ease her pain. by the end of the video, it shows that she can move on from such devastating experience by trying to help her own self and standing on her own.

The saddest and truest part of this video is when she finally lands on her feet and looks up at him while he's looking down at her and they both officially/finally realize that there is no getting back together.

My cousin Zak directed this video and I think he did a phenomenal job! This is probably my most favorite video ever!! Love you Zak! 😘😍

[chrisherself]

I love this. When you get dumped, first you imagine that the one you still love will have a change of heart, and catch you before reality collides. Then as you start to get better you hope, wish that friends, family, strangers, ANYONE will save you. Finally you understand that you have to catch yourself, and realize you're fully capable of it. Great song and video. :D

[hayleycardillo]

so it's like, a metaphor saying that when you breakup with someone you really love, it's the equivalent of falling off an enormous building. as you're "falling", you're wishing all of these people will come and save you, but in reality you'll end up saving yourself because everyone "lands on their feet" after a breakup

[joer]

It really captures the sadness and despair of breakups with a positive message of never giving up. Love it. Fitz and Noelle are amazing singers.

[JarrodHahn]

She kept thinking he was going to save her. But she was strong enough to take "the fall" on her own. Awesome Song, Great Video. Masterful direction.

My boyfriend of 3 yrs broke up with me 2 weeks ago and I just found this song. Thank you F&TT.

[sweetmochi]

i want him to save me because i love him but i know that lie is not real.

i dont expect someone new to save me because it would just be cruel.

i could just keep falling into dispair and brake when i hit bottom but i know that is not me.

so i will just fall look up and land on my own because i have to keep movkng foward.

[kemikaru]

This video did the song justice. Great metaphor for breaking up and getting back together. It shows that after a while, your lover won't take you back. She didn't land on her back, and instead on her feet so that she can go off and find "something better for the next time" as the song put so nicely. 

[cgo]

This song is helping me out big time, yes I'm a man but fuck it I am totally in her shoes.

[gamesgreenz]

No matter how far or hard you fall you can always land on your feet, Great message!

[kylecowden]

I think this song deserves more credit than it has gotten😕👍

[em_is_online]

it's 11:30 pm and this song is nearly making me cry for no reason

help

[zazaziah]

She falls & hopes he catches her(gets back together with her).
-She hopes strangers will catch her(this could mean casual relationships {rebound} or just depending on others to save her.
-She thinks/fears the fall will shatter her (she'll lose herself{substance abuse or suicide})
But the video gives her the option to catch herself. (Why she fell in slowly to the ground & finally landed on her feet.)

This song helped me, honestly.
You think you're surrounded by all of these things that you love, but they don't necessarily love/benefit you. And in the long run we're hurting ourselves trying to drag it out an unequal/unloving/abusive relationship 💗

[DiggitEntertainment]

Just went through a really bad breakup this week.  7 years and an engagement ring...  gone.  I knew the song really captured how I felt, but the video is just beautifully heartbreaking.

Most realistic fake fall I've seen
