Paul Travis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm thinking too much
Is this enough?
To clarify
To your pretty mind
That I want you
And I like to think I know
Who you are
And stretched out oh
'Cause I'm tired of phone calls
(?)Is the new
And Im waiting for the line
My lips are blue
And the ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah
Dear oh
Oh dear
Watching me m-eh-oh-eh-oh-eh-oh-aking it seems so
Rosy
You're in my bones
(?)You're as cold as my throat
When I'm thinking of you
'Cause I shall know
(?)You're feeling cold
For temporary love
Babe I know you know I know you're so
And it's not what you were showing
Two weeks ago
And I'm tired of phone calls
(?)Is the new
And I'm waiting for the line
Our lips are glued
And the ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah
Dear oh
Oh dear
Watching me m-eh-oh-eh-oh-eh-oh-aking it seems so
Rosy
(?)And I know you, I-i
'Cause I'll be coming
Clear
And the ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah
Dear oh
Oh daer
Watching me m-eh-oh-eh-oh-eh-oh-aking it seems so
Rosy
In the song "Rosy" by Paul Travis, the lyrics describe someone who is feeling confused and overwhelmed about their feelings towards a person they desire. The opening lines - "My head's concussed, I'm thinking too much, Is this enough?" - suggest that the singer is struggling to make sense of their emotions. They want to make their feelings clear to the person they desire, but they fear not being able to convey them properly. "To clarify, to your pretty mind, that I want you" shows that the singer is trying to communicate their attraction to the person, but is unsure if they can do so effectively.
The lines "And I like to think I know who you are, but I strum out wishful thinking and stretched out oh" suggest that the singer may have an idea of who the person they desire is, but their thoughts may not be grounded in reality. They may be fantasizing about an idealized version of that person rather than who they truly are. Additionally, the mentions of "phone calls" and "waiting for the line" suggest that the singer is waiting for a response from the person they desire. The repetition of "ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah, dear oh, oh dear" throughout the song may represent the singer's inner dialogue or anxiety as they wait for a response.
