No.
Wide Awake has better everything than TOTGA .
Better lyrics (such as the bridge):
Quote:
(I'm wide awake)
Thunder rumbling
Castles crumbling
(I'm wide awake)
I am trying to hold on
(I'm wide awake)
God knows that I tried
Seeing the bright side
(I'm wide awake)
I'm not blind anymore

The o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-one
The one that got away
All this money can't buy me a time machine, (Nooooo)
Can't replace you with a million rings, (Nooooo)
I should've told you what you meant to me, (whoa)
'Cause now I pay the price
Even if I didn't see the success/acclaim it had, Wide Awake is still better than TOTGA. The production, the lyrics, the meaning, the significance to Katy
"the fact that people base their opinions on a song by what other critics say about it and its [radio play] rather than having a truly individual opinion "
