How Things Used To Be

Ali Gatie


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  

The way you make me feel make you feel so significant
You got me writing I’m out here searching 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 feeling so sick you be like my medicine 
The way we got our connection it feels so effortless 
The way we talking we always talking so intimate 
And that’s the reason I know our love is innocent 

I been wondering 
I been thinking
Are you thinking of me 

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  

Tell me what you need you know I got it right now
Ima 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 want 

You got my love don’t worry girl yeah you got my love 
Ain’t nun that you gon ever have to worry about 
I got your trust girl I would never break it 
Ever since I laid my eyes on you I’ve been taken

I been wondering 
I been thinking
Are you thinking of me 

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
