Rosie
C.B. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rosie, on the garden chair
Rosie, through the city windows
Rosie scented air
Every flower, every bird, every skyline in the world coloured yours
Every word of a book, every line of a song is yours
Every face that I see, every eye that I meet I fall
Rosie, in my morning coffee
Rosie, on the garden chair
Rosie, through the city windows
Rosie scented air
I feel like spectator from the outside
Looking through a glass of a world that could be mine
If you let me in I promise will try
To feed you my sunlight
If only I could hide from gaze
Maybe I could finally explain
What I truly see
Rosie, in my morning coffee
Rosie, on the garden chair
Rosie, through the city windows
Rosie scented air
Look in my eyes
Tell me that you don't feel the same
Tell me that you'd never feel this way
Tell me that it's true
Tell me I'm wrong
To think that we are on the same page
Cause you have never tried this way
But Rosie, if you knew
That my life comes to life with you
Maybe it's just me
That's the price I'll pay
For Rosie coloured days
The song "Rosie" by C.B. Cook is a love letter sung to an individual named Rosie. The lyrics speak of the ubiquitous presence of Rosie, who the singer sees as being present in everything around them. The mention of Rosie in the morning coffee, on the garden chair, through city windows and even in the scented air is a symbol of the all-encompassing nature of the individual in the singer's life. In their eyes, even the flowers, birds and skylines in the world belong to Rosie.
The chorus of the song goes on to convey a desperation to understand the mysterious and elusive Rosie. The singer admits to feeling like a spectator on the outside, looking in on a world that could be theirs if Rosie would only let them in. The lyrics express a desire to "feed" Rosie their sunlight, to give them all the love and attention they crave in return. The second verse emphasizes the singer's frustration at not being able to articulate what they see when they look at Rosie. They long to be able to hide from the gaze of others, to finally explain the depth of their feelings for Rosie.
