Let’s call it a day go our own different ways Before we decay [Bridge] You don’t have to be afraid of looking into my face We’ve done nothing to each other time will not erase [Interlude] Oooh ... [Verse] I feel displaced I got a low-down feeling You been two-faced you been double-dealing I took a chance got caught in the trance Of a downhill dance [Verse] Oh child why you wanna hurt me? I’m exiled you can’t convert me I’m lost in the haze of your delicate ways With both eyes glazed [Bridge] You don’t have to yearn for love you don’t have to be alone Somewheres in this universe there’s a place that you can call home [Interlude] Oooh ... [Verse] I guess I’ll be leaving tomorrow If I have to beg steal or borrow It’d be great to cross paths in a day and a half Look at each other and laugh [Verse] But I don’t think it’s liable to happen Like the sound of one hand clappin’ The vows that we kept are now broken and swept ’Neath the bed where we slept [Bridge] Don’t think of me and fantasize on what we never had Be grateful for what we’ve shared together and be glad [Interlude] Oooh ... | | % | % | % | [Bridge] Why should we go on watching each other through a telescope?

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque les difficultés d'une relation sur le point de se défaire. Les protagonistes prennent conscience qu'il est peut-être temps de discuter de leur situation, surtout dans un état plus serein. Ils constatent que la souffrance est inutile et qu'il serait préférable de prendre des chemins séparés avant que tout ne s'aggrave davantage. Malgré les émotions intenses et la nostalgie, ils réalisent que le temps et les blessures qu'ils se sont infligées ne peuvent être effacés. L'idée de chercher une nouvelle voie devient alors inévitable, tout en reconnaissant les moments passés et en espérant un avenir différent. Cette chanson, sortie dans le contexte des années 70, période marquée par des bouleversements personnels et sociaux, reflète des thèmes universels de déception, de quête de soi et de la complexité des relations humaines.
