    How Things Used to Be Lyrics

    [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
