¿µÙÅÉÈð Katy Perry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one
I still got the seed
You said move on
Where do I go
Is all I will know
Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes
You're like an Indian summer
In the middle of winter
Like a hard candy
With a surprise center
How do I get better
Once I've had the best
You said there's
Tons of fish in the water
So the waters I will test
He kissed my lips
I taste your mouth
He pulled me in
I was disgusted with myself
Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes
You're the best
And yes I do regret
How I could let myself
Let you go
Now the lesson's learned
I touched it I was burned
Oh I think you should know
Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Oh won't you walk through
And bust in the door
And take me away
Oh no more mistakes
Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay
In Katy Perry's song "Thinking Of You", she reminisces about a past lover and compares him to her current partner. She compares being with her current partner to tasting second-best after having the best, just like picking a ripe apple and having the seed left after picking the best one. The lyrics portray the struggle of moving on and the regret of letting go of someone who was the best. She talks about the physical relationship she has with her current partner but is disappointed with herself because when she is with him, she is still thinking of her past lover.
Perry uses a few similes and metaphors throughout the song to describe her feelings towards both men. She describes her past lover as an Indian summer in the middle of winter, which means he brought warmth and comfort even in the coldest times. Her current partner is compared to a hard candy with a surprise center, which means he appears sweet on the outside but has a sour center. These descriptions give listeners a clear image of how Perry feels about each man and her conflicted emotions.
This song provides a melancholic yet realistic view of relationships and their complexities. It shows us that moving on is not always easy and that comparisons can be made when we feel like we are settling for less. However, Perry acknowledges the lessons she has learned and the mistakes she has made, making this a relatable and insightful song for many.

Sinners prayers GOD hears not.
Unless we REPENT and born again and LIVE HOLY, GOD hears none of our prayers.
Prayers have power, but these must come from Changed hearts.

I still believe this is the greatest song Katy has ever written
@wandson5410
Yes. And she wrote all lines by herself with no co-writers.
