About You Now
Meadowlark Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was so easy, that night
Could've been strong, yet, I lied
Nobody gets me like you

Couldn't keep hold of you then
How could I know what you meant?
There was nothing to compare to
I know everything changes
All the cities and faces
But I know how I feel about you

Can we bring yesterday back around?
'Cause I know how I feel about you now
I was dumb, I was wrong, I let you down
But I know how I feel about you now

All that it takes, one more chance
Don't let our last kiss be our last
Give me tonight and I'll show you

I know everything changes
I don't care where it takes us
'Cause I know how I feel about you

Can we bring yesterday back around? (Back around)
'Cause I know how I feel about you now (about you now)
I was dumb, I was wrong, I let you down (I let you down)
But I know how I feel about you now (about you now)

Not a day passed me by
Not a day passed me by
When I don't think about you

And there's no moving on
'Cause I know you're the one
And I can't be without you

Can we bring yesterday back around? (Back around)
'Cause I know how I feel about you now (about you now)
I was dumb, I was wrong, I let you down (I let you down)
But I know how I feel about you now (about you now)





Yeah, I know how I feel about you now

I found it! Having heard this in a charity shop today, it made me start to well up with its beauty and reminding me of a recent break up. The voice is so pure and heartfelt and the production so hauntingly magical. Really brings out the melancholy tenderness and happy sad quality. Perfect cover.

@snubnosedmonke

I discovered this song like last week or so and been so much in love since then. It's like you find out a song that makes you feel like finally finding out a piece of your ownself you were searching for since forever❤️

@llljjjyyyy

please dont stop making music guys, love it:)

@sendneutrals

This cover is so underrated💗🤗

@superdudeo

For a band called the 'Sugababes' they had some really great writing on their tracks. Much better than The Spice Girls or any other manufactured band.

@waiskuxx

Little Mix and 2NE1 have far better writing.

@samwiseshanti

For my money sugarbabes have been chronically underrated as pop artists- and i definitely think the awful name 'Sugarbabes' contributes to that

Miranda cosgrove 3oct2009, sugarbabes 9oct2009 🙃
