The lyrics to Book of Love's song "I Touch Roses" can be interpreted in a few different ways, but one possible way to understand them is as a rejection of the idea that the speaker has some kind of special power to make roses bloom with their touch. They dismiss this notion as "mathematical" rather than magical. In other words, they are suggesting that the idea of their touch causing roses to bloom is simply a predictable, almost mechanical process, rather than something mystical or extraordinary.

The second verse introduces the idea of someone trying to talk to the speaker or emulate their behavior, but still being unable to touch their roses. It's unclear exactly what "roses" represents in this context -- it could be a metaphor for something intangible or valuable that the speaker possesses, or it could be a literal reference to flowers. Regardless, the idea seems to be that no matter how hard others might try to imitate the speaker or connect with them, they will never be able to truly understand or replicate what makes them unique.

Overall, the lyrics to "I Touch Roses" suggest a kind of skepticism or even cynicism about romantic notions of magic or specialness. The speaker seems to be pushing back against the idea that they are inherently special or gifted in some way, instead emphasizing the importance of practicality and a grounded sense of reality.
