I'll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours

about

A stupid little story about a couple who realise their differences in YouTube clips a little too late.

Inspired by an afternoon at a friend's house, where we took to YouTube in an effort to show each other funny videos. As the song suggests, we failed at making each other laugh. We're still friends though.

lyrics

We're sat in my room
Conversation goes away
I look you in the eye
You say “what now?” And I say

I've got just the thing
With a twinkle in my eye
And I reach over to my laptop
And bring up a video of a guy punching another guy

I crease up with laughter, speechless for a while
But I look at your face and you've barely raised a smile
And I put my hand on your arm and say are you ok hunny?
And you say you're sorry but you just don't find it funny

All things come to an end
But I wish that you'd pretend
That you have the same taste in YouTube clips as me

Because now I'm not sure
Should I walk out that door?
Is this really the way it has to be?

I try to wave it off
Tell you it's no big deal
But you know right away
That that's just not how I feel

So you grab the laptop
And you start typing something in
You say, I'm sure you'll love this one
And I'm almost infected by your grin

As a girl on screen starts showing us her version of twerking
You're nearly in tears, but for me it's just not working
And we look each other dead in the eyes
And a little part of our relationship dies

All things come to an end
But I wish I could pretend
That I have the same taste in YouTube clips as you

Because now I'm not sure
Should I walk out that door?
Are you thinking the same thing too?

We sit there in silence, soaking up the awkwardness
Praying someone will speak, but there's nothing to say
So you grab your bag and your coat
And I haven't seen you since that day

Cos all things come to an end
And we could not pretend
To like the same YouTube clips as each other

Yeah we just were not sure
So you walked out that door
And I went back to giggling at Danny Glover
