"Set Phasers to Stun" is the third single by Taking Back Sunday from their second studio album "Where You Want to Be". The music video doesn't feature the band, but rather a group of kids doing a form of interpretive dance. The director of the video, Zav, is shown with a moustache, yet he is still a young boy. In the video, he is featured instructing old people (seemingly his age) how to do the dance. He does a demonstration while losing his patience, and sends them up to eat tuna and peanutbutter sandwiches. When they arrive back at the stage, the kids are shown doing a miraculous, impossible dance finishing by levitating and spinning in circles.

LYRICS

Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yesSay yes, say yes, say yes, say yes

I'm sorry it took me so longI'm sorry it took me so long (to come around)I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around)

Your famous last words started once your fingers hit the snoozeJust nine more minutes, please..(And they) They all know where to find meEvery word that I said, what a big mistakeAnd the ones you looked down are keeping me away

Well I will never make another promise (without you)I will never make another promise (with you in mind)

So pace the stairs to your apartmentLike it's where you wanna be(where you wanna be)It's where you wanna be(where you wanna be)

I'm sorry it took me so longI'm sorry it took me so long (to come around)I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around)

Well theres a secret I've been perfecting,I swore I wouldn't but you let meI'm comfortably confused(and you...) You've gotten so removedYou know I, I could take the place of those pillsOcean blue, paint it whiteNow who ya gonna call tonight?

Well I will never make another promise (without you)I will never make another promise (with you in mind)

So pace the stairs to your apartmentLike it's where you wanna be.(where you wanna be)It's where you wanna be(where you wanna be) [x2]

We paint our sins on the ceilingI keep them glued to my chestIt keeps me close like a promise kept(Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yeah)

If I talk in my sleep, will you just keep trying? (We paint our sins on the ceiling),I'll give it up, if you just keep trying (Well I keep them glued to my chest),If I talk in my sleep, if I talk in my sleep, it's gone (It keeps me close like a promise kept).(Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes)I'm sorry it took me so long(Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes)I'm sorry it took me so longSo pace the stairs to your apartment(will you stop me, i just wanna know?)(i'm sorry it took me so long)Like its where you wanna be(will you stop me, i just wanna know?)where you wanna be
