G, The Wiz - The Ex [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[James Carr]
At the dark end of the street
That's where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide that I'm wrong
We have to pay for the love we stole

[Verse One: G, The Wiz]
You know it’s not right coming back to me
Old thoughts roll back when you’re next to me
Can’t Walk from the way that you look at me
You know, I know, it was all built as lies
You know, I know, that we can’t survive
So it’s time for the rest of our lives
Living on, working on, the great divide
New girl, new guy, move on it’s time
They’re gonna find us, let go I'm fine
There gonna find us sinning where the sun don’t shine

[James Carr]
There gonna find us, oh
There gonna find us, oh
There gonna find us, oh
There gonna find us, oh
There gonna find us, oh
There gonna find us, oh
Living in darkness where we don't belong

[Verse Two: G, The Wiz]
You better stop calling me
It’s 3 in the morning, stop reminding me
I’m trying to recover, don’t play games with me
I’m on the verge to escape, but you’re a drug to me. (You’re a drug to me)
Thinking back of the day when I first heard you say
You’re gonna be a star, you’re gonna go far
How did you see who I am?
How did you make that call?
I gotta stop, you’re not the same to me
I gotta stop, before my girl finds me
On the phone, texting a part of me
Oh no, she’s on my case to se
If i’m going back to the dark side
The streets where we met the first time
Beneath the lights that light up the night time

[James Carr]
There gonna find us
There gonna find us
There gonna find us
There gonna find us
There gonna find us
There gonna find us

[Verse Three: G, The Wiz]
Dear you
Whoever we used to be;
That’s just a yesterday not meant to be
I know we had a chance to grow up
But my hearts already been used and torn up
I’ve given up on love, and just like doves
I’ve lost my colour, but I’m still gonna rise up
Took me some years to run and to wise up
On my own is who I am until my times up
There’s no exaggeration on the life I live
Pulling three jobs daily; you gotta listen to this

The life I knew then is now dead to me
The soul of my past has drowned in me
I'm not everything you always never thought me
If you ever need me, you ever need me
There's only one place you and I can ever meet

[James Carr]
At the dark end of the street
That's where we always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don't belong
Living in darkness to hide that I'm wrong
We have to pay for the love we stole
