Uh Huh
Forever the Sickest Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I came (you better believe it) every time you called (cause I wanted be there)
As a matter of fact I was probably waiting by the phone
If I would of known what I know now
Would'a left never had a chance
We were two weeks in it'll never last
If I would of known what you were thinkin'
Till your over it till your over it (oh oh)
[Chorus]
Uh huh
We're doing it
Way to well
Uh huh
We're doing it
We're getting and getting it done
I give up it won't last forever (There it is I laid it down)
And if we can't be friends what can we be? (I'm giving up it's not working out)
Maybe some day we can live (Together forever)
And if we're not friends what can we be? I'm giving up it's not working out
[Chorus]
If I would of known what I know now
Would'a left never had a chance
We were two weeks in it'll never last
If I would of known what you were thinkin'
Would'a ran for the hills and it would'a stayed OK till your over it
[Chorus]
The song "Uh Huh" by Forever the Sickest Kids is about a failed relationship. In the first verse, the singer talks about how he would always go over to his girlfriend's house when she calls him. He was so eager to be with her that he would even wait by the phone for her call. However, as the relationship progressed, he realized that he should have seen the warning signs and left before things got worse. The verse ends with a regretful reflection, "If I would've known what I know now, would've left never had a chance. We were two weeks in, it'll never last."
The chorus is all about how the couple is trying to make the relationship work, but ultimately failing. They're both well-intentioned, but their efforts are futile. The repetition of “Uh huh, we're doing it” makes it sound like they're trying to convince themselves that things are going well, but really they're not. The singer admits defeat at the end of the chorus "I give up, it won't last forever" and wonders if they can even be friends after the ordeal.
In the last verse, the singer repeats the regretful reflection from the first verse, "If I would've known what you were thinkin', would've ran for the hills and it would've stayed OK till you're over it." He still wishes that he had known what was really going on in his girlfriend's mind before investing so much time and emotion into the relationship. The song ends with the final chorus, leaving the listener with a sense of finality and closure.
