Ray Rife - The Evening [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Uh
I know my lovers gunna feel me

[Verse]

I said
Funny how things work out with first loves
Remember things from first kisses to first hugs
Reminiscing what we missing, maybe it's just tradition
We strengthened lovers vision, getting closer through our distance
But then it all unfolded, we played the fools
Going back and forth, second chances gave a few
Friends always comparing another's moves
Had our own thing hate when they compared us too
Cause some wanted Ye and Kim, others wanted Jay and Bey
Obama and Michelle, I just wanted you and me
Heart knowing I should leave, mind wanting me to stay
Between the two chose wrong and I was left astray
A young love so confused thought you'd be there through the thick
Put me in the slums and I couldn't climb the pits
I couldn't breathe, I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep
Homies screaming "get a life" not understanding you was it
Im smooth though

[Hook]

Said I know you long gone
But at times when Im alone I catch..
Catch some midnight memories
Of our midnight memories
I know you long gone
But at times when Im alone I catch..
Catch some midnight memories
Of our midnight memories

[Verse 2]

May have lost you yea, but still a winner
I always kept it cool during the winter
We made a joke out of the pretenders
Are reigns in the ranks
Our biggest problem we ain't account for all the littlest things
Like our minute phone calls, smileys through the text
Defending one another, letting love heal the stress
Somewhere down the line we lost track of each other
Felt the guilt in our hearts but couldn't get it off our chest
We lied cause at times the truth hurt us too
Trynna forget that we did what the scandalous do
Forgiveness is only welcome when that story from you
Can be opaque for so long til that light seep through
We had started to believe in the phony tendencies
Cause what seemed legit to me was our promising dream
But you became the one I couldn't have
And Ironically, I always felt the one I couldn't haves
The one I need, Im smooth though

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

But I'm smooth though
I got better with time, it's been some years you still tickle my mind
I still catch flashes, of what we couldve been
I still catch flashes, of what you prolly did with them
That ain't none of my business but is it?
I mean I taught you that
You know everything you doing girl I taught you that
I mean I'm doing my thing, but the feeling ain't the same
So I admit it many times yes I want you back
Remember times I was the cure to your afflictions
Asked to me come over I would be there in some minutes
I had me climbing through your window just to get into your cribess
Let a nigga sleepover disrespecting mommy wishes
I remember all it vivid, fighting in your bed
Know I put it down, dreamed peaceful when you slept
Those that really understand know what I'm saying next
Cause you know that shit is real disregarding morning breath
Stevie Wonder accepts the fact he wasn't meant to see
I've learned to accept that you aren't here with me
To justify we say it, that is "wasn't meant to be"
Could've made it "meant to be"
We just chose it differently
Im smooth though

[Hook]
