After a few misleadings steps at home, he managed to move to Hamburg, Germany where he was engaged as a background singer for several record productions.

Afterwards Jost and Nuo once again teamed up for the production on his second album Superglue, which was released in April 2005, spawning two singles: "Girl In The Moon" and "Beautiful". In July 2005 Nuo married to actress Molly Schade. He and Molly have a daughter Elouise, born June 7, 2006.

Too Late
Patrick Nuo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm telling you, we′re past that by now
Accusing me is so wrong
You'd better listen and stop now
After I'm done,
You′ll need some time
Two will be one
You get it now
Chorus
I feel we're never gonna make it
Too late to save it with a love song
That′s right our love is overrated
Too late to save it with a love song now
To save it with a love song now
Why apologize?
Can't you see your bridges have burned?
By now you sure ought to know
That nothing you say will make it right
After I′m done, you'll need some time
Two will be one
That′s right
You get it now
Chorus (2x)
I feel we're never gonna make it
Too late to save it with a love song
That's right our love is overrated
Too late to save it with a love song
I feel it′s time for us to break it
Too late to save it with a love song
That′s right we're never gonna make it
Too late to save it with a love song now
To save it with a love song now
Our love is so exaggerated
I could hardly feel it when it faded
You washed away what once was true...
Love
Chorus (2x)
In Patrick Nuo's song "Too Late", the singer is addressing his significant other and telling her that their relationship is over. He tells her that she can no longer accuse him of wrongdoings and that after he is done with her, she will need time to come to terms with their separation. The chorus of the song emphasizes that it's "too late to save it" and that their love is "overrated". The singer feels that nothing can be done to rekindle their love and that it's better to end things now instead of prolonging their inevitable break.
The lyrics speak to the bitter end of a relationship that may have once been passionate and true. However, now the singer feels that their love has faded away, and it's too late to fix the damage that has been done. The use of the phrase "too late to save it with a love song" suggests that the singer has tried to save their relationship through various means but it's now beyond repair.
Overall, "Too Late" is a powerful song that explores the emotions of heartbreak and the realization that sometimes it's better to let go of a relationship instead of holding on to something that's already broken.

Girl your cover's blown
I know the truth now, you can't hide it anymore
I'm telling you, we’re past that by now
Stop trying to blame me, it's too late for that
Accusing me is so wrong
You're pointing fingers at me, but you're the one who messed up
You'd better listen and stop now
Listen to me and let's end this
After I'm done, You'll need some time
Once I'm finished talking, you'll need to take some time to think
Two will be one, That's right, You get it now
We will be over, and you need to accept that
Chorus
Our love is over and there's nothing that can be done to save it
Why apologize?
Apologizing won't fix what's broken between us
Can't you see your bridges have burned?
You've ruined things beyond repair
By now you sure ought to know
You should have realized by now that it's over
That nothing you say will make it right
No amount of talking will fix things between us
Our love is so exaggerated
We thought our love was strong, but it wasn't
I could hardly feel it when it faded
Our love was so weak that I barely felt it disappear
You washed away what once was true...Love
Your actions destroyed the love that we once shared
