Three possible narratives.

Narrative 1: The first narrative is almost like unrequited love at. The two lead characters are childhood friends who grew up together till now. The male character is in love with the female character, but she does not see it, as sees him as a childhood friend. Throughout the whole video we see what their relationship is like with each other through flashbacks, playful and showing a great bond with one another. Soon we find that the girl is in a relationship with another guy, in result of the lead character being unhappy and got nothing to do about it. Eventually the girl catches her boyfriend in act with another girl so she decides to run away. After the lead character acknowledged her running away, he chases after her at the train station. Seeing the train has departed, he gives up and broken hearted, not being able to tell her how he felt. As he turns around, she appears in front of him, relieved and filled with joy and fades to black after they kissed.

Narrative 2: The second narrative will have interxtual references to many fairytales such as disney movies: Snow white, Cinderlla, Repunzel, Alladin etc. The male lead character plays as the prince in the story, and each specific part of the music the video will show a story, relevant to the fairytale stories I've mentioned. It will have the same linear story Good Vs Evil, saving the princess from different villains many times. When the music video approaches to the end it cuts back not to a fairytale but reality, where they lived 'Happyily Ever After'

Narrative 3: The last narrative is almost similar to the first narrative. In the beginning of the music video, it shows the lead singer running in a suit, endlessly in an isolated street during broad daylight. Throughout the whole story we see of him having flash backs of when him and his lover were together in love. It starts off when they were children, to becoming teenagers then to adults when it is present time and this when it shows how their relationship went down through fights etc. As a viewer we realise that the male character has done wrong and it leads up to the end of the video. We see him reaching his destination outside of a house. A female character comes out and he kneels down, proposing for marriage.
