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
