<P> The music video was directed by Chris Applebaum . It features two continuous shots , running side by side on the screen . One side shows the band playing the song in a rehearsal space . The other side features a woman ( played by Denise Franco ) as the singer Dan Wilson 's girlfriend . As the video progresses , Dan and his girlfriend switch sides of screen , as they attempt to meet up . At the end of the video , they both wind up at the same nightclub . However , they still end up missing each other by mere seconds and never meet . The `` trick '' of the video is that each shot was done as one long , continuous shot , with no cuts or editing , and therefore relies on proper timing to get the two sides of the video lined up properly . </P>
