Comparisons are easily done
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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

    My Interpretation:I think that Thinking of You and The One That Got Away are about the same guy. He's a love she can't get over and no one else can really take his place.

    I think Katy Perry's a Drapple (Draco/apple) fan. :)

    Song Meaning:For me, this song is about a lost love that she wants to come back, but she doesn't have a chance because she already lost it. And then she have a new lover, but everytime she's with him she thinks of her true love, the one that she lost and she regrets that she let him go. She also uses similes and metaphors to describe how grateful and bad she felt when she remembers him. I don't know, but this song is very well written, and it makes me think of my first love too!

    General Comment:i love this song its exactly what i would like to say to that one guy who never leaves my mind... even though im in a relationship there was one point in time where i had to choose between the two and everyday i think of how it could be if his eyes where the ones i looked into everyday and how i may have eneded up happier. i had him right in my arms and i just didnt think i guess and just let him go and even though were still close friends we never speak anymore and it makes me think about him even more... he lives farther away then my boyfriend know and i feel there are so many more things we have to say to each other but when i left his house one night i ran into the guy im with know and was with before him... and i just screwed up that night i guess... i do have them days of regret and when ide like to try to do anything to go and catch him off gaurd and see what happens we were really happy together and we could have been happier but things changed i wish i could just see how things would have turned out cause he never did anything to hurt me and i feel so bad for walking away when he thought he had ahold... and i did to but sence i let another back in he told me to just move on cause theres more then him out there and know everyday i regret coming home that night but things happen for a reason you know... theres thoughs nights i dream of him and you know they say everytime you dream of someone they are thinking of you.?.?.? well... i just hope thats true cause if so then he thinks of me as much as i think of him and that leaves a happeness in me that maybe someday in the future we will come back to eachother again and just start fresh again... in your eyes is where ide like to stay robert =]

    General Comment:...This song was written about her boyfriend that went to war. He died in the war, but told her to move on. She does get another boyfriend, but he only reminds her of the boyfriend who died.

    General Comment:It's basically about how she wishes she wouldn't have broken up with a man because she thought he was perfect. Even when she has a new boyfriend, she's still thinking of her ex.

    My Interpretation:This song represents so much to me right now...

    I see it as if someone was torn between two people.. Thinking about both of them... Unsure who to give your heart too..
    And if you pick one, you might be happy and all, but you might end up thinking of the other one..

    Well, that's what I feel as of for now..

    My Interpretation:I think from the video she is being unfaithful to a man who appears to be fighting in a wat, from the picture on her cabinet. Thats just what I think =P

    My Interpretation:The music video fits it perfectly; it's about a couple who are pretty much in this wonderful relationship, but the guy gets sent to war and he tells the girl to find someone else because he'll probably die. ("You said move on/Where do I go?")
    So she gets with this other guy and sex with him and what not, even though she doesn't like it. ("He pulled me in/I was disgusted with myself")
    Shortly afterward, however, she finds out that her husband WAS in fact killed in war.
    So... yeah.

    General Comment:People always leave some impression on you whether it’s good, bad, small, or big, they do. Now when you have that one person who’s extremely special to you, no doubt he/she will leave an EXTREME impression on you. That’ll be you’re “taste of perfection” that will never be topped. In your heart you hold on to that lasting impression whether you want to or not. You always find yourself thinking of that person. You can never get better because you’ve already “had the best”.

    Don’t let relationships that fall under this ever leave your grasp. You’ll “regret how you let yourself let that person go”. You might think saying goodbye was for the best. But “you’ll test the waters” and see nothing and no one can compare to how great it really was. “Second best is all [you] will know”. Save yourself plenty of remorse by realizing what’s right in front of you and appreciating all that it is.

    “Oh I wish that I was looking into your eyes.”

    “ ’Cause in your eyes I’d like to stay…”
