Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you're here
Every thought I ever had
Becomes clear
But when you're far

The only light I ever see
Is the Stars
And when you go,

The feelings burn

As they grow
'Cause to me,
To me you're Beautiful

But when you're here
Josephine
The stars don't shine so bright
But Yeah with me

Josephine
You'd never sleep at night
But when you're here
Josephine

The stars don't shine so bright
But Yeah with me
Josephine
You'd never sleep at night

But when you go
I never sleep as I do
And in my dreams
I hold you like I never

Will release
But when you're here
Josephine
The stars don't shine so bright

But Yeah with me
Josephine
You'd never sleep at night
But when you're here

Josephine
The stars don't shine so bright
But Yeah with me
Josephine

You'd never sleep at night
I'm dreaming of you
Are you dreaming it too
I'm dreaming of you

I scream your name
But when you're here
Josephine
The stars don't shine so bright

But Yeah with me
Josephine
You'd never sleep at night
But when you're here

Josephine
The stars don't shine so bright
But Yeah with me
Josephine

You'd never sleep at night

My Josephine

I'm dreaming of you
Are you dreaming it too

I'm dreaming of you
I scream your name

Overall Meaning

The song "Josephine" by Reamonn is a romantic tribute to a woman named Josephine. The singer in the song is deeply in love with Josephine, and when she is near, all of his thoughts and feelings become clear. However, when she is far away, he feels lost and alone, and the only light he sees is the stars in the sky. He longs for Josephine's return, but when she does come back to him, he finds himself unable to sleep because he is so consumed by his love for her. The song expresses the intense emotions of infatuation and longing that can come with being in love.

Throughout the song, the singer uses repetition to emphasize his emotions. The line "But when you're here, Josephine" is repeated several times throughout the song, highlighting how important Josephine's presence is to him. The repetition gives the song a dreamy quality, as if the singer is lost in his thoughts and feelings about Josephine.
