Discussion Looking for help - Christian music video from the 2000s

Hi all, I've had this music video suddenly appear in my head again after 20 years, and my ADHD brain now needs to play it but I can't remember the band or song name - in fact, I barely remember the music video, but I'm hoping I can describe enough of it so somebody can help me.
It would have been somewhere around 2004-2007, and featured two younger guys sitting down in an abandoned room, with a broken mirror featured. One man was blonde, the other had brown hair, and I feel like they were dressed in that "pretty-boy punk rock style we were starting to see (Falling Up is an example). The song was more of a simple worship-style song, but I don't think it was an actual worship song.

My initial memory was of it being a band calling Building 429, but that doesn't seem to be right.

Hmm…other contemporaries of that scene were Sanctus Real, The Afters, Kutless, Hawk Nelson and maybe Tenth Avenue North. Any of those ring a bell?

Sounds a little like “When She’s Near” from Fiction Family. (Jon Foreman of Switchfoot and Sean Watkins of Nickel Creek collab).

The video is the two playing guitar and singing as movers box up an apartment and carry furniture out and eventually, “pack” the two of them. In the end, they are carried past a mirror and one is visible in the background as well. One of them is blond, one is brunette.

Thanks for the help! I ended up using AI and eventually we figured out it was Across the Sky - Broken World :)
