Thinking Of You Lyrics

Comparisons are easily done once you've
Had a taste with 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 WILL ALWAYS LOVE THIS WOMAN

    This song is about the tragedy of being with someone but loving someone else. When you can't get the other person off your mind as hard as you try and you try to deny the feelings. If only you could turn back time and have spent your life with them instead. You wonder if they feel the same way. Do they think of you like you think of them. Can you ever be together or do you remain in a relationship with out substance or real love?

    A woman who knows shes met her soul mate or person she's meant to be with "always thinking of you". He never leaves her mind and wishes she could turn back time and have spent her time and life with him instead.

    I think its about not realising how good you have things until suddenly you no longer have them. Its about having someone who you really connected with and how they were taken away from you with no warning. Now she is struggling to move on because she cant appreciate the values of the new guy because she just compares him to the old. In my opinion she feels as if she is betraying her lost love as she is "disgusted with herself."

    Kaaay, so, in the lyrics of the song, it doesn't at all mention the war/iraq/afganistan,people writing that are just getting that from the video clip, and alot (if not most) film clips have nothing/almost nothing to do with the actual song.

    Just my opinion, kaay?

    typically its about katy perry who found the perfect match [matt dallas]- like an apple hanging from a tree i picked the ripest one

    and that she still remembers him - i still got the seed

    then he leaves to war leaving katy and tells her to forget him because it would hurt her to much if they were still together and now shes left alone with no one- You said move on Where do I go?

    he then dies in the war leaving katy forever

    then he meets someone new who is wonderful and almost like her former lover but not as great as her first love as she still in love with him- I guess second best is All I will know - Cause in your eyes, I'd like to stay

    Thinking of you is about when you find a "perfect" guy and before he goes to Iraq he tells you that you can see other people and referring to the lyric "you said theres tons of fish in the water so the waters I will test" but she can get over him and she is horrified with herself like the lyric "He pulled me in I was disgusted with my self" this is a meaning full song

    I think it's about finding your perfect match, but then he leaves you for some reason. In the video, she's in love with a boy, but he leaves to go to war, and ends up dying, so she's forced to move on, but still regrets letting him go to war because if she didn't, he'd still be alive. This song isn't neccesarily about that, though, it could also be about finding your perfect match, then something happens, forcing them apart, and she's forced to move on; but she can't forget about him.

    I think this soong is about a girl who had the"perfect" boy friend whio went to go fight in the war.I think he knew he would die so he told her to go find another man.She didn't want to let him go.When she found another man,she is always thinking of her last boyfriend."When i'm with him i am thinking of you"

    This is about a girl who once had a "perfect" guy but lost him because she flirted with another guy. she is now totally regretful of it and wants him to come back.. It can be seen in this lines..

    "and yes i do regret,
    how i could let myself let you go..
    now the lesson's learned,
    i touched it i was burned"

    Everything she does with the other guy just reminds her of her "perfect" guy and the sin she had committed. and she cant help but compare the other guy to the perfect guy.

    "comparisons are easily done
    once you had a taste of perfection....

    he kissed my lips
    i taste your mouth.
    he pulled me in
    i was disgusted with myself

    coz when im with him
    i am thinking of you"

    Is about having an affair with another guy while her true love is in Iraq. But he said she could see other people "You Said Move On where Do I go?" . but it still doesn't feel right. Because to her he is everything, and no one can replace him. While he is in Iraq He is shot in his heart and killed.
