Lately I've been thinking About the birds and the bees The heartbeats of the monkeys that sit in the trees Singing for tomorrow and the karma police I am trying to be everything you want me to be I try to remember but tend to forget Calm under pressure everywhere I tread Rugged or tender the chances i get For worse or for better they all go to my head On a day like today Where the sun has been shining Everything that you say Leads me to the question Do you want me to stay I can tell you've been crying That you're not quite okay Behind the barricades Like the little voices in the back of your head Remind you of the monsters hiding under your bed I speak of the future as i think to myself That my memory will live on after my body is dead That love is forever, that you will be mine That life is a river, that both our hearts are blind That we'll be together Through rain and through shine As long as the weather and time is on our side So is it time to begin Are you coming or going Are you betting to win Your one and only Should I fold and give in Is my vanity Showing Where it blows in the wind The answer lies within On a day like today Where the sun has been shining Everything that you say Leads me to the question Do you want me to stay I can tell you've been crying That you're not quite okay Behind the barricades
