Analysis of lyrics and ideas for music video

Two Door Cinema Club- Something Good Can Work
Our interpretation of this song is that it is being sung in a motivational way towards a girl as she wants to make something of herself. We have decided to create a twist on this interpretation so that a guy is trying to motivate the girl to make something of herself with him.
We have annotated beneath some ideas towards the meaning and what we can do with the song .
Lyrics are in bold
For the intro-Shots of performance, and narrative introduction
There's a spanner in the works you know,
you gotta step up your game to make to the top.
So go!
Gotta little competition now, - idea of 2 guys in 2 cars competing for the girl
you're going to find it hard to cope with living on your own now.
Uh oh! - idea of split screen of 2 scenes then fade into chorus
Uh oh!

And you know that it will.- flowers to present the girls to get what she wants

Took a little time to make it a little better,
