Patrick Watson - Uh Oh - Album Lyrics
1. Silencio
Silencio, yo te dí el silencio
Pa' que tu entiendas
Como va la vida
¿Cómo va la vida?
I lost my voice ‘cause I talked too loud
Like an old friend that ain't hanging around
And in this quiet well I do my best
But I can't stop making this s*** up in my head
But that's all right I think I see the light
Half of the time are we just talking to ourselves?
And you want to explode
And let the world know
It's the middle of the night you’re all by yourself
Begging, praying, chasing looking for a reason won’t you let it go
‘Cause you don't know
Then you take a bow
Watch the quiet smile
And say anyhow
I've been too many lives
I've been too many tries
Too many times losing my mind thinking about what I said last night
I think you like me better since I lost my voice
Something about this quiet
¿Cómo va la vida?
No sé si bien o mal
La vida sigue igual
No hay sentido en las palabras de la gente
¿Cómo va la vida?
Si quieres la verdad
Me cuesta respirar
A veces ya no quiero levantarme
¿Cómo va la vida?
Oir sin escuchar
No sé que preguntar
Hubiera deseado que me escuches
It was late last night you know
I was laying in my bed I just wanted to know
Well how, how are you doing?
Wow, just let the quiet smile
All of the I don't know whys
You've already tried
You’re breaking your mind
So you wave and walk by
Oh just gotta let it go
Well the funny thing is they think you’re smarter when you shut your mouth
Take a break from yourself
While you wander around
And you close your eyes while the quiet smiles
Smiles
Escúchame
Escúchame
2. Peter and the Wolf
I could hear that bass two blocks away
Blowing through the southern wind
And it got dark in the strangest way
Slowly slowly came this way
Like nighttime moves through the trees
Something about the way the metal sways
You can’t move, you can’t leave
I see two bright eyes shining in the night
Something in the street staring back at me
I see the shimmering lights
Shaking all the homes from the afterlife
Made out of silver chrome
And I swear I see a ghost dancing in the headlights
At the same time, as the bassline
And the whole damn world starts to shiver at the same time
As the bassline, you know it’s nighttime
Six tinted windows and pearly white teeth
I guess you’re the wolf and Peter is me
She lived in a lake of emerald green
She strangely spoke French to me
From the willow to the crows and everything that grows
Every, everybody knows
She’s the queen of everything
She said viens, viens ici
Je mange ton coeur
Je te mange toi whole
Je mange la vie
Je mange la mort
Something in the woods again
And that something’s wicked
(But it feels good)
(Everybody knows)
She said shush now with a wicked look
Six tinted windows and pearly white teeth
I guess you’re the wolf and Peter is me
I could hear that bass two blocks away
Something’s in the woods again
I could hear that bass two blocks away
Something’s blowing in the southern wind
And I swear I see a ghost dancing in the headlights
At the same time as the bassline
3. The Wandering
Aaaaaah
Aaaaaah
Woke up a bit slowly feeling a bit lonely
But here we are
Got a nowhere kinda fever like melancholy’s a-dreaming
And that’s my favourite kind of feeling
Don’t know where we’re going
Don’t know where we’ve been
It’s that strange kind of wind again
Your feet are a hanging off of this train dreaming
Up the world walking by
Wandered through the strangers
Too quick for them to notice
Who you are
I don’t know anybody
And no one knows me
I could be anything
And you're my favourite company
You and I in disguise watching the world
Wonder by
Aaaaaah
We went everywhere
We went everywhere
Four of spades pulls up in her car
And I’m standing outside the bar
She says get in we’re gonna drive drive too far
Wrapped in my foreign heart
I don’t know where we are
Can’t remember my name
And she feels the same
And know we’ll be sad
At the end of the road
We don’t want this conversation to end anymore
Don’t know where we’re going
Don’t know where we have been
Since we were young
Partes de mim deixo onde vou
And the hills were on fire
São tantas as vezes que esqueço o que sou
Ou onde estou agora
Everything sang to me
Ai, eu já não sei se quero ir embora
Ou se quero ficar
We went everywhere
We went everywhere
Ou se quero ficar
Aaaaaaah
4. Choir in the Wires
Every single word
Big small or absurd
Gentle quiet answers
Words that are a-crashing
Tangled in the trees
In everybody’s streets
Thousand conversations hanging in the air
And somehow I can still hear you there
You look up at the wires
And you can hear a choir
They kinda look so tired
From carrying all our lives
Every little story
Sorrow and good morning
Every single laugh
And every single I’m sorry
I’ll tell you about it tomorrow
Someone’s fighting
Someone’s flashing
Crying while they’re laughing
That awkward silence seems a little violent
Mom just got off the phone
Her son’s not coming home
It’s a beautiful disaster
Screaming like its dreaming
And I still hear you there
Thousand conversations
Carrying in the wires
Hanging in the trees
On everybody's street
(Perdido entre cables)
But inside of all this chaos
From drama to the crisis
To the nothing of importance
(En el caos del cielo)
(Entre las voces)
I can still hear you there
(Perdido en caricias)
5. Uh Oh
I’m a mess
But I’m the best
At least that’s what the doctor says
Always feel like I'm falling down
So I’ll be your raincloud anyhow
Watched my words fall from the sky
They lit a fire
So I start to cry
My telephone learned how to sing
Does that mean the cables and wires will start to dream
Uh oh the future’s so bright
You better put your sunglasses on tonight
And I swear to god that I do my best
But does anybody know what’s going on
Uh oh it’s getting dark out here
Uh oh it’s getting dark out here
(It’s getting dark out here)
(It’s getting dark out here)
I feel small
But kind of tall
So I raise my antenna to catch a song
I can’t feel my lips
I can’t feel my tongue
So I talked to ghosts when I was young
And I’m so thankful every time
I get a chance to just stare up at the sky
And I know I’m just a speck of dust
But I’m singing across the universe
But the greatest minds
I’ll tell you what they find
The answer is you’re gonna lose your mind
Uh oh it’s getting dark out here
Uh oh it’s getting dark out here
(It’s getting dark out here)
6. The Lonely Lights
When the lights went down
I didn’t want to leave you there
When the lights went down
I didn’t want to leave you there
When the lights went down
I didn’t want to leave you there
The snow is falling on your gentle face
I was worried that you’d be too cold
You told me that you hate to be alone
So I just didn’t want to f**king let you go
I just didn’t want to let you go
Chairs upside down
The cash is closed
Even the lights in Times Square feel alone
When it’s 4 o’clock in the morning
And nobody’s there
Oh I wandered around
And I waited there
Just to be sure you were no longer here
Cuz I just didn’t want to let you down
Nobody’s here
Just me, you and the moon
I guess where it ends it begins
7. Ami imaginaire
Dis-moi qui vous êtes encore
Moi je suis ton ami imaginaire
Dis-moi qui vous êtes encore
Ça rêve, ça rêve trop fort
Dis-moi qui vous êtes encore
Dis-moi qui vous êtes encore
Où es-tu ?
Je ne sais plus
Où aller
Pour te chercher ?
Si tu veux être trouvé
Dites-moi qui vous êtes
Dites-moi qui vous êtes ce soir
Bleu blanc rouge
Violet ou noir
Quel regard
Êtes-vous ce soir ?
Dis-moi qui vous êtes encore
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ça rêve, ça rêve
Dis-moi qui vous êtes encore
Ça rêve
Ça rêve
Trop fort
Dis-moi qui vous êtes encore
Ça rêve
Ça rêve
Trop fort
Ça rêve
Trop fort
Je suis ton ami imaginaire
Où es tu ?
Je ne sais plus
Où aller
Pour te chercher ?
Si tu veux être trouvé
Dites-moi qui vous êtes ce soir
8. Postcards
We were far
You made it close
I sent you postcards in the mail
I caught on fire
Called 911
You showed up
You were the only one
You make it easy
You you you
When I was ugly
You were there
(You make it easy)
My favourite mirror
You make it easy
9. House on Fire
I’ll be wrong
And you be right
I don’t mind
Because it’s alright
I keep trying to see your side
Even though I just wanna hide
And we are words
And we are stones
This world stands still
While we are thrown
Where did all our love go
How‘d your eyes gets so cold
You can wrap your truth
In ribbons and bows
But I just don’t know how to be alone
And I’m a man made out of holes
Tell me something I don’t already know
Tell me something I don’t already know
I’ll be wrong
You be right
I don’t mind
I just want to make it right
Chairs could fly
The kids could cry
So why not light our house on fire
Our house is a very fine house
But it got harsh when it got night
You can take your hands
And cover your ears
Scream so loud the neighbours can hear
I don’t wanna do
I don’t wanna do this anymore
I’ll be wrong
You be right
I don’t mind
I just wanna make it right
I don’t want
To be right
I just want to make it right
I was yours
You were mine
There was so much on the line
I keep trying to see your side
Even though I just wanna hide
I’ll be wrong
You be right
I don’t mind
I just wanna make it right
I can’t see through all the tears
I can’t see through all these years
Drank the rain
And bent to the sun
When we were young
Now we’re counting down to when we can
Take the pictures off the wall
The portraits in the hall
When you walk out the door
I won’t love you anymore
Can hear their voices call
(Can you hear)
(Can you hear those voices call)
Can you hear their voices call
For our love to break the fall
(For our love to break the fall)
For our love to break the fall
I’ll be wrong
You be right
I don’t mind
I just wanna just wanna make it right
For our love to break the fall
I’ll be yours
You be mine
There was so much on the line
For our love to break the fall
I can’t see through all the tears
I can’t see through all the years
And I can’t carry the weight of our lives
So I’m just gonna make this right
I can’t see through all the tears
I can’t see through all the years
And I can’t carry the weight of our lives
So I’m just trying to make this right
I can’t see through all the tears
I can’t see through all the years
10. Gordon in the Willows
It’s been a long long time
It’s been a long long time
I find you hiding underneath the willow trees
The way the wind it even speaks through me
Your memories are my words
You are the wild inside the wilderness
You are the quiet and the gentleness
Your melodies the birds
It’s been a long long time
It’s been a long long time
It’s been a long long time
I’m gonna hold on
I’m gonna hold
I’m gonna hold on
I’m gonna hold
I’m gonna hold on
11. Ça va
Le temps est moche
Je rêve tout croche
Les frustrés laissent leurs mauvaises journées
Collées
En dessous de nos souliers
Ça roule trop vite
Pour garder le sens
Les bouches ouvertes
Et les klaxons forts
Toujours
Pressé pour patienter
Mais ça va
Mais ça va
Tu m’attrapes
Tu m’embrasses
Toi, vous êtes ma préférée
Ça va
Mmmm
Lalalalalalalalala
Mmmm
Lalalalalalalalala
C’est normal qu’on soit tous fous
C’est pas simple d’être humain
Cachés et parfumés
Mais on essaie
Peut-être pas assez
C’est la fin du monde
Tous les lundis
Les infos du soir
Disent « ruptures de l’espoir »
Avec nos mains en l’air on dit
C’est la vie
Quand ça brasse un peu trop fort
Je me sens seule et ça me fait peur
Ma mère presse Play sur la cassette
Pour deux secondes le monde s’arrête
Mais ça va
Mais ça va
Mais ça va
Vous êtes ma mélodie, ma bonne amie
Trop gentille
Tu me sauves la vie
Ça va
Tu m’attrapes
Tu m’embrasses
Tu tiens ma main
Peut-être c’est trop parisien
Mais ça me fait du bien
