Rob Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can feel them running chains around our door
I'm coming to the end of what i'm for
But I will pull myself together I am sure
I will run for you until I start to drop
I will breathe your breath until you tell me to stop
We will see the ending of another sunny day
Are we all just sitting here
Waiting on the end
Like its only natural
Are we filling spaces
Til we find ourselves again
Like its only natural
Its only natural
This is not the way we wanted this to be
I can feel your doubt inside of me
Were standing on the edge of everything we've ever seen
And everything well never get to be
Are we all just sitting here
Waiting on the end
Like its only natural
Are we filling spaces
Til we find ourselves again
Like its only natural
Its only natural
And when you think its over
It start coming around again
Its coming around again
And when you think its figured out
It starts coming around again
Its coming around again
Its coming around again
Are we all just sitting here
Waiting on the end
Like its only natural
Are we filling spaces
Til we find ourselves again
Like its only natural
Its only natural
The lyrics in Rob Thomas's song Natural describe a sense of disillusionment with life and a feeling of being trapped or caged. The singer acknowledges that this is not the life he promised to the person he is addressing in the song, and that he feels like they are being held hostage by something outside of their control. Despite this, he promises to pull himself together and run for the person he loves until he physically can't go on anymore.
The chorus of the song asks a series of rhetorical questions about whether we are all just waiting for the end or filling spaces until we can find ourselves again. It suggests that feeling trapped or disillusioned is a natural part of life and that we are all just waiting for something to change.
The bridge of the song provides a glimmer of hope, suggesting that even when we think everything is over or figured out, it will come around again. The repetition of this line emphasizes the cyclical nature of life and the idea that things will always have ups and downs.
Overall, the lyrics in Natural convey a sense of struggle and uncertainty, but also a determination to keep going despite the challenges we may face.
