Roses
Mackenzie Bourg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it goes so fast
So reach out and grab it
While supplies lasts
You're still here
And I like your face
It's kind of loud in here
Let's get out of this place
Roses are red most of the time
There's love in my heart
There's love in my heart
Knowing you're mine
There's no way out
There's no way out of this mess
So darling may I
Help you get out of that dress
And we'll fall apart
And I'll piece us back together
We'll make it through
Oh, in the stormy weather
Cause roses are red
Roses are red most of the time
There's love in my heart
There's love in my heart
Knowing you're mine
There's no way out
There's no way out of this mess
So darling may I
Help you get out of that dress
You know, I always love
Truth be told, I'm so caught up
In everything about my life
The lights and cameras aren't my type
Oh, I know it's been a rush
But baby I just won't give up
Cause you don't know
Roses are red most of the time
There's love in my heart
There's a love in my heart
Knowing you're mine
There's no way out
There's no way out of this mess
So darling may I
So darling may I
So darling may I
Help you get out of that dress
The song "Roses" by Mackenzie Bourg is about seizing the moment in life and making the most of it while you can. The opening lyrics, "Life is life and it goes so fast, so reach out and grab it while supplies lasts," encourages the listener to live life to the fullest and enjoy the present moment. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the power of love, stating that there is love in the singer's heart when they know their significant other is theirs. The line "roses are red most of the time" is a clever twist on the classic saying, indicating that even though life may not always be easy or perfect, love is still present and significant.
Later in the song, the singer expresses a desire to help their significant other get out of the dress they are wearing, indicating a potential romantic and intimate moment. The line "we'll fall apart and I'll piece us back together" suggests that even if things get tough or messy, the singer is willing to work to make things right again.
The bridge of the song acknowledges that the singer may have been caught up in the superficial aspects of life - "the lights and cameras aren't my type" - but they are willing to fight for their love and the authenticity of their feelings.
