Brunk imagines them being consumed by thoughts of love, ambition, fear, and missed chances, as well as the limits of his own resolve. With lines such as \u201cI\u2019d like to change the world the way I change my mind \/ I\u2019d like to be somebody, but I can\u2019t even be on time\u201d, and \u201cThere\u2019s no answers in the back of the book, all you can do is try and try\u201d, the song becomes so much more existential, while the chorus returns it to its original premise, as customers wander in and out of the bar &#8211; just like the people in our lives.<\/p>\n<p>The music video for &#8216;Wander In Wander Out&#8217; takes that melancholy and renders it as a world of black and white pencil animation, with figures moving through the story, like illustrations in a notebook. Meanwhile, a broken heart is replaced by reunion and dance, leaving open the chance that just some of those people who wander out may well at some point wander back in again.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the music video for &#8216;Wander In Wander Out&#8217;
