How Things Used to Be Lyrics by Ali Gatie

YOU

2019

[Chorus]
I wonder how you are
I wonder if you think of me
And when I'm all alone
I think of how things used to be
I'm stuck here writing songs
I wonder if they're helping me
The moments when you're gone
To me they feel like eternity
[Verse 1]
The way you make me feel, make you feel so significant
You got me right in the mind, you searchin' for synonyms
The feelings that I got for you cannot get rid of them
What you gon' say I'm gon' trust it, don't need no evidence
When I be feelin' so sick you be like my medicine
The way we got, our connection it feel so effortless
The way we talkin', we always talkin' so intimate
And that's the reason I know our love is Heaven sent
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been wonderin'
I've been thinkin', are you thinkin' of me?
[Chorus]
I wonder how you are
I wonder if you think of me
And when I'm all alone
I think of how things used to be
I'm stuck here writing songs
I wonder if they're helping me
The moments when you're gone
To me they feel like eternity
[Verse 2]
Tell me what you need, you know I got it right now
I'ma treat you right, yeah I would never treat you wrong
Girl, I know you always love to listen to my songs
I know what you love, I know exactly what you on
You got my love don't worry girl, yeah, you got my love
And you know that you won't ever have to worry 'bout
I got your trust girl, I will never break it
Ever since I laid my eyes on you I've been thinkin'
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been wonderin' (I've been wonderin')
I've been thinkin', are you thinkin' of me?
[Chorus]
I wonder how you are
I wonder if you think of me
And when I'm all alone
I think of how things used to be
I'm stuck here writing songs
I wonder if they're helping me
The moments when you're gone
To me they feel like eternity
