Thinking of You
M.J.K. (A Perfect Circle) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I been thinking of you all the time
I know this girl who's tryna race the world, face the world
Man, she's such a graceful girl
I told myself that I would wait for her but
I'm starting to feel like giving up
I mean I, don't even know how she likes me back
And I
And I
Just wanna go to a place where I can make her laugh
Hold her hand and maybe slow dance, you know
Mama said find a christian girl
My friends said let's hit up the club
My mind said listen to yo mama, she wise
My stomach said you hungry, get some grub
So afflicted, addicted, to her affection
In a new city now banking up that pension
Since she been gone
My hearts been trapped in detention
Writing out the same old sentence, Bart Simpson
So I'm Thinking of you
All the time
And all the time
You been on my mind
Yo I'm thinking of you
All the time
And all the time
You been on my mind
I been thinking
Fast forward straight to forever
Turn our hearts to chocolate so they can melt together
Can't wait to see you in my favourite sweater
I know your sweet perfume smell would make it better
Daydreaming
Chilling in an ocean breeze
Flying coast to coast with you close to me
Slow dancing
Let our bodies move in sync
Slow groove and sway, stay interlinked
I been thinking bout you, all the time
And all the time, you been on my mind
Believing
When our space and time connect
You gonna hold your breath
As I hold you, blessed
I been thinking of you
I been thinking of you all the time
I been thinking of you
I been thinking of you all the time
The lyrics to "Thinking Of You" by A Perfect Circle suggest a restless, sleepless night plagued by thoughts of a lover. The singer is unable to shake mental images of this person, fixating on their surrender. The rhythm and beat of the music in their head seems to match the sight of their lover lying peacefully, but there's also something unsettling, an "unmistakable noise" or "sound" that draws them in. The lover's look on their face hints at some sweet revelation or surrender, which the singer desires intensely. The repetition of "thinking of you" at the end underscores the all-consuming nature of this want.
The song conveys a sense of yearning and obsession, with the singer unable to escape their thoughts and desires for their lover. The lyrics and music are both seductive and menacing, creating a sense of tension and danger as the singer's mind spirals further into this obsession. The "little evil" that is hinted at suggests a darker side to the singer's desires.
