I believe the song takes place as a bored Sara sits on an old amp at a store and watches Zak try out guitars. She cheers up when he plays her favorite song which seems to trigger her visions and/or transplant her to another place. Because he's inexperienced with large purchases, Zak consults with his dad as Sara shares her latest vision with the salesman, suggesting openness with strangers and that Zak knows of her talent. The playing must have resumed because her next vision is at the concert of her favorite song's artist, an Englishman, and the drugs present. This imagined scene might also be a hospital bed but I think this is less likely since "strange machines repeating beats and thumping base" and the "pale English face" don't fit with hospital equipment or likely doctors respectively. Zak finishes and, rather than be smacked for her unusual gift/curse, she claps for him because he indulged her and created a vision. Whether this vision's different from the ones she has normally, he gave her powerful vision period, or she just likes the song, I'm not sure.

Zak and Sara are really in love, but their story is rather sad. Sara has an illness where she can see into the future and hear voices. They spend their time together playing guitar, and with their amps. One day, Zak and Sara (who lack intelligence sometimes because they are so into their love they do not see need for anything else) go to a store to make a purchase. They think they can make a simple purchase of an expensive item but realize they can't.

Zak calls his dad about a layaway while Sara lashes out at the salesman. She is angry and speaks of visions of the asshole salesman dying in his car. After her verbal attack, she's taken to the hospital. She hears machines making thumping noises and sees the pale English face of a doctor. She finally is put on a medication that makes her happy, that could make it possible for all white boys to dance.

The final lines of the song display that she is happy and finishes by listening to her favorite song played by Zak, which draws it to a happy ending, even though she is mentally ill. But once again, we see that they lack the intelligence to know what is going on and see the terribleness of the issue, as they end with happily listening to that song.

I thought it was about a chick who has multiple personalities or something. Like Sara is a girl and when she loses time it's Zak taking over or something.
