It's Only Natural Lyrics
Ice will melt, water will boil
You and I can shake off this mortal coil
It's bigger than us
You don't have to worry about it
Ready or not here comes the drop
You feel lucky when you know where you are
It's gonna come true
Here in your arms I remember
It's only natural that I should want to
Be there with you
It's only natural that you should
feel the same way too
It's easy when you don't try
Going on first impressions
Man in a cage has made his confession
You've seen me at my worst
And it won't be the last time I'm down there
I want you to know I feel completely at ease
Read me like a book
That's fallen down between your knees
Please let me have my way with you
It's only natural that I should want to
Be there with you
It's only natural that you should
feel the same way too
It's circumstantial, it's nothing written in the sky
And we don't even have to try
Shaking like mud, buildings of glass
Sink into the bay they'll be under the rocks again
You don't have to say I know you're afraid
It's only natural that I should want to
Be there with you
It's only natural that you should
feel the same way too
It's circumstantial, it's something I was born to
It's only natural, can't help it if I want to
You and I can shake off this mortal coil
It's bigger than us
You don't have to worry about it
You feel lucky when you know where you are
It's gonna come true
Here in your arms I remember
Be there with you
It's only natural that you should
feel the same way too
Going on first impressions
Man in a cage has made his confession
You've seen me at my worst
And it won't be the last time I'm down there
Read me like a book
That's fallen down between your knees
Please let me have my way with you
Be there with you
It's only natural that you should
feel the same way too
And we don't even have to try
Shaking like mud, buildings of glass
Sink into the bay they'll be under the rocks again
You don't have to say I know you're afraid
Be there with you
It's only natural that you should
feel the same way too
It's only natural, can't help it if I want to

It's sexy! I can't help glancing over at my other half, or at least thinking of him when they sing "Please let me have my way with you".
I loooove this song.
Awww, this song is so underrated, it's amazing!
I'd say it was just about a couple, but hey, there's probably some deep hidden meaning I'm not getting... I still love it :)
I think its about a couple who have hit hard times and one of them (the female possibly) no longer feels the same about the other. I think the song is about how the man feels and is made to feel by his ex-girlfriend.
Hey, that's easy. He tells someone that everything will be over someday and it's only natural, and that someone doesn't have to worry about it, though s/he is afraid. He also sayes, he doesn't believe in destiny ("...It's circumstantial, it's nothing written in the sky...")
Wow I can't believe how many whacked people are out there. This song is about death and dying. Does anyone read anymore? "Shake off this mortal coil"? Does that ring a bell? Hello? "Under the rocks again?" Hello?
I don't think this is about death, per se. "Le petit mort", or the little death, is a French metaphor for the orgasm. That goes well with "you read me like a book that's fallen down between your knees, please let me have my way with you."

When he says, "you and I can shake of this mortal coil", I think he is suggesting that they could enjoy a "little death" together.

I took "under the rocks" to be a play on "on the rocks". So under would therefore be good times

Each of the comments shines a light on different elements of the song. I believe its primarily about relationships and their capacity to allay our existential angst. The song reminds us that we have free will but also that we are part of nature and are drawn toward the natural order of things. One day we will die. When we go with our instincts rather than struggle with them and accept that we have our good and bad sides and we have a start and end of life then relationships can blossom and sustain us through life.
