I hadn't thought about the song in that way untill reading those comments...
To me it's about being unfaithful to my boyfriend.
We were fine and perfectly in love for over a year untill I went on holiday and met someone and cheated and now my boyfriend and I are on the rocks and all I can think of is the other guy whilst with him which is leading to our inevitable break up..
"Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple handing from a tree
I pick the ripest on i still got the seed"
Before we were fine now I keep comparing my boyfriend to him because he is more my 'taste of perfection'.
"You said move on
Where do I go?
I guess second best is all I will know"
The other guy has now told me that it cannot work for us due to distance and various other things, so second best; the boyfriend, 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"
Obvious.. just wishing it was him instead.
"You're like an Indian summer in the middle of winter
Like a hard candy with a surprise center"
The fact he walked into my life when everything was going okay and suprised me by disrupting my normal relationship.
"How do I get better once I've had the best?
You said there's tons of fish in the waters"
I feel that he is the one for me even though he does not and he also tries to convince me that I can move on from my boyfriend..
"He kissed my lips I taste your mouth
He pulled me in, I was disgusted with myself"
Thinking of him all the time, and the disgust with myself as I think of being unfaithful to my boyfriend.
"The best, and oh, I do regret
How could I let myself let you go?
And now, now the lesson's learned
I touched and I was burned"
Me not fighting for this other guy enough and letting him go. The 'lesson learned' and getting 'burned' is the fact that all the affair has caused is pain and suffering for everyone involved.
"Wont you walk through and
Bust down the door and
Take me away
No more mistakes
'Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay"
Wishing that he would come and save me from the heartache whilst with anyone else. The 'mistakes' being the cheating.
ANYWAY, that's just a different perspective of the song from my personal POV.
For me this song represents how my ex girlfriend feels now (not being cocky, she tells me so), we were together for 3 years and she went to study to a city far away and left me for another guy after 3 years and all the sacrifice and things I gave her. Eventually she came back, but we were never back together, we just tried and tried for about one year and a half. Now I put an end to it and started seeing another girl and now she is regretting it deeply crying every night, she regrets everything she's done and how little effort she put into getting together back again.
@amillionhearts Guys, she didn't move on with her intention.. She wasn't even cheating.. The soldier guy was her first/previous and he wanted her to move on cus he knew the distance and seldom meeting was gonna be an issue.. or the fact itself, that he was gonna die in war cus he knew a close war was coming soon.. that's why she says "you said move on, where do I go" "how do I get better once I've had the best"
You can notice in the video how that guy looks back at her and walks away, that was his last...

You can notice in the video how that guy looks back at her and walks away, that was his last time.. even after the party/dancing, you can clearly notice how emotional they were.. and he looks back at her one last time and smiles in pain, I have to admit, that acting was brilliant, it was nicely done, how could you not figure out that he was the one who was urging her to move on?? that's why she at last says "no more mistakes" cus she believes what she did was a mistake
and like someone already said, "you said there's tons of fish in the waters so the waters I will test" the 'you' in here is her previous guy, who wanted her to think that she could move on.. that's why she then says "the waters I will test"
If it was the new guy who said that, it wouldn't make sense for her to say "the waters I will test," he was already right there....

This song kinda explains it perfect... but the video doesn't.

I have a fiancé, and I love him to death. We are getting married. He works... a lot, and things got a little... stale... for us. I have a strong... sexuality about me. I started to become physically attracted to his best friend over the course of a year... and the feelings were mutual evidently. A drunken night we kissed. We told my fiancé the day after, ashamed of ourselves and scared. He was understanding. We're all three always together on the weekends... bonds became stronger and feelings more obvious. My fiancé would joke that his best friend is better for me and I should be with him (this reminds me of the "You said there's tons of fish in the waters So the waters I will test" line). A joke based in truth. Listen to this song and think about this. I now have a fiancé and a boyfriend, and there is a physical relationship with both, but sometimes I think more about my friend than my fiancé... We've been like this for a while now... interesting huh? I kinda think this is the exact song I thought would never exist to fit... I needed this.
You women are evil.
