Thinking Of You
The Perry's 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?
I guess second best is all I will know
'Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you (thinking of you, thinking of you)
Thinking of you
What you would do if you were the one
Who was spending the night (spending the night, spending the night)
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes (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 (I taste your mouth), oh
He pulled me in, I was disgusted with myself
'Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you (thinking of you, thinking of you)
Thinking of you
What you would do if you were the one
Who was spending the night (spending the night, spending the night)
Oh, I wish that I
Was looking into your
The best
And yes, I do regret
How I could let myself let you go
Now, 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, thinking of you) (oh)
Thinking of you (oh)
What you would do if you were the one
Who was spending the night (spending the night, spending the night)
Oh, I wish that I
Was looking into your, 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, stay

Line by Line Meaning
Comparisons are easily done
It's easy to make comparisons
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Once you've had something perfect, you won't settle for less
Like an apple hanging from a tree
Perfect things are hard to find, like apples on a tree
I picked the ripest one
I found the best one there is
I still got the seed
I still have the memory of it, even though it's gone
You said move on, where do I go?
You told me to move on, but I don't know how
I guess second best is all I will know
I'll have to settle for less than what I had
'Cause when I'm with him
Because when I'm with someone else
I am thinking of you (thinking of you, thinking of you)
I can't stop thinking about you
Thinking of you
Constantly thinking about the one I lost
What you would do if you were the one
What you would do if you were here with me
Who was spending the night (spending the night, spending the night)
Who was spending the night with me
Oh I wish that I
I wish that I could have you back
Was looking into your eyes (eyes)
I miss looking into your eyes
You're like an Indian summer in the middle of winter
You're like a warm ray of sunshine in the middle of cold, dark times
Like a hard candy with a surprise center
You're like a surprise, unexpected and sweet
How do I get better once I've had the best
How can I settle for less once I've had something so great?
You said, there's tons of fish in the water
You said there are other options out there
So the waters I will test
So I will try out other options
He kissed my lips, I taste your mouth (I taste your mouth), oh
When he kisses me, I remember what it was like to be kissed by you
He pulled me in, I was disgusted with myself
I feel ashamed of myself for being with someone else
'Cause when I'm with him
Because when I'm with someone else
I am thinking of you (thinking of you, thinking of you)
I can't stop thinking about you
What you would do if you were the one
What you would do if you were here with me
Who was spending the night (spending the night, spending the night)
Who was spending the night with me
Oh, I wish that I
I wish that I could have you back
Was looking into your
I miss looking into your
The best
The best memories I have
And yes, I do regret
I regret letting you go
How I could let myself let you go
I don't understand how I could have let you go
Now, now the lesson's learned
I've learned my lesson now
I touched it, I was burned
I had a taste of perfection and now I can't settle for less
Oh, I think you should know
I think you should know how I feel
'Cause when I'm with him
Because when I'm with someone else
I am thinking of you (thinking of you, thinking of you) (oh)
I can't stop thinking about you
Thinking of you (oh)
Constantly thinking about the one I lost
What you would do if you were the one
What you would do if you were here with me
Who was spending the night (spending the night, spending the night)
Who was spending the night with me
Oh, I wish that I
I wish that I could have you back
Was looking into your, your eyes
I miss looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
The one thing I wish I could do
Oh, won't you walk through
Please come back to me
And bust in the door and take me away
Come and take me away from all of this
Oh, no more mistakes
I won't make any more mistakes
'Cause in your eyes, I'd like to stay, stay
Because in your eyes is where I belong
