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

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

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

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)

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)

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

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

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

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

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

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
