Lyrics

I wonder how you are

I am curious about your current state

I wonder if you think of me

I wonder if you remember me

And when I'm all alone

When I'm by myself

I think of how things used to be

I reflect on how things used to be between us

I'm stuck here writing songs

I find myself writing songs

I wonder if they're helping me

I question if these songs are aiding me

The moments when you're gone

In the moments when you are absent

To me they feel like eternity

Time without you feels like an eternity to me


The way you make me feel, make you feel so significant

Your impact on me makes me feel important

You got me right in the mind, you searchin' for synonyms

You occupy my thoughts, searching for words to express

The feelings that I got for you, cannot get rid of them

Emotions for you linger, challenging to let go

What you gon' say, I'm gon' trust it, don't need no evidence

I trust without needing concrete proof

When I be feelin' so sick you be like my medicine

Your presence heals me when I'm unwell

The way we got our connection, it feel so effortless

Our connection feels natural and effortless

The way we talkin', we always talkin' so intimate

We communicate intimately

And that's the reason I know our love is innocent

I believe our love is pure and innocent


I've been wonderin'

I have been contemplating

I've been thinkin', are you thinkin' of me?

Wondering if you are also thinking of me


I wonder how you are

Reiteration of curiosity about your well-being

I wonder if you think of me

Reiteration of wondering if you recall our past

And when I'm all alone

Reflecting on the past when I am alone

I think of how things used to be

Thinking about the nostalgic memories

I'm stuck here writing songs

Being in a situation of composing songs

I wonder if they're helping me

Questioning the therapeutic effect of these songs

The moments when you're gone

Feeling the prolonged absence intensely

To me they feel like eternity

Time without you seems endless to me


Tell me what you need, you know I got it right now

Offering to fulfill your needs immediately

I'ma treat you right, yeah I would never treat you wrong

Commitment to treating you with respect

Girl, I know you always love to listen to my songs

Acknowledging your appreciation for my music

I know what you love, I know exactly what you're on

Understanding your preferences and desires

You got my love, don't worry girl, yeah you got my love

Assuring you of my love and devotion

And you know that you won't ever have to worry 'bout

Ensuring you have my trust, and I won't betray it

I got your trust girl, I will never break it

Establishing trust since the beginning

Ever since I laid my eyes on you I've been thinkin'

Thinking deeply since the first encounter


I've been wonderin' (I've been wonderin')

Repetition of contemplation

I've been thinkin', are you thinkin' of me?

Repetition of wondering if you think of me


I wonder how you are

Reiteration of curiosity about your well-being

I wonder if you think of me

Reiteration of wondering if you recall our past

And when I'm all alone

Reflecting on the past when I am alone

I think of how things used to be

Thinking about the nostalgic memories

I'm stuck here writing songs

Being in a situation of composing songs

I wonder if they're helping me

Questioning the therapeutic effect of these songs

The moments when you're gone

Feeling the prolonged absence intensely

To me they feel like eternity

Time without you seems endless to me
