Alec Baldwin;Russell Brand;Julianne Hough;Diego Boneta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
'Cause I feel so secure when we're together
You make everything so clear
And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars forever
'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
In Can't Fight This Feeling, Russell Brand expresses his inability to resist the feeling he has for someone any longer. Though he's frightened to express his true feelings, they've grown more profound as their friendship evolved. He wishes he had the power to reveal the extent of his emotions for this person, but he's scared of the consequences.
Russell laments his inability to hold out anymore, and he has no cause to be afraid because he feels secure when they're together. He recognizes that this person gives his life direction and makes everything more clear for him. Even when he wanders, he never loses sight of them, and they offer him light in the darkness, as represented by the candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night. Russell realizes he's getting nearer to this person than he ever imagined he might.
In the chorus, Russell sings that he can't fight the feeling any longer and has forgotten why he was fighting in the first place. He now thinks it's time to bring the ship into the shore and throw away the oars. He acknowledges that he might have to go to this person on his hands and knees or come crashing through their door to profess his love if necessary. However, he can no longer resist the urge to express his true feelings.

by Reo Speedwagon
I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship
has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
もう気持ちを 抑えられんのや
愛が溢れ出しそうで 怖いで
ただの友達と 思ったんやけど
想いは 募るばかりや
ウチに告白する勇気が あるんやろか？
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
'Cause I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear
気持ちを 胸の内に仕舞えんやろ？
って 自問自答したんやけど
もう怖がることは あらへん
アンタと一緒やと 安心するし
アンタは ウチをさとし 道を示すんや
なんもかも ハッキリするんや！
*
And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than
I ever thought I might
いつも アンタを見つめてたで
アンタはまるで 寒い冬の夜に
窓に映る 蝋燭みたいや
想ったよりも もっと
愛しう なったんや
**
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever
もう この気持ちには 抗えん
なして 我慢しとったんやろ？
船を岸につけて オールを捨てる時が
来たで これからずっと
*
'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
もう この気持ちには逆らえん
なして 我慢したのか 忘れてもうた
這いつくばって ドアを蹴り破っても
あんたに 打ち明けるんや
ダーリン もうこの気持ちを
抑えられないんや
My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl
'Cause you take me to the places
That alone I'd never find
あんたと 出会って
ウチの人生は 目まぐるしかった
堂々巡りで 答えが見つからんかったんやけど
ずっとあんたを追っかけてたんや
あんたは いつも 独りでは見つからん所に
ウチを連れてってくれるん
* ** * repeat
@feradraco
Am I the only one who felt like this pair was a lot more interesting than the main couple and deserved more screentime?
@maurad821
Me!!!!!!!
@jlanglois970
you aren't alone...if there was a spin off telling their story I would watch it all the time
@bornsmooth92
no you're not I loved these too
@coueyprator3445
It didn't deserve a spin off in my mind, they're more interesting
But they just needed more screen time not a movie
@coueyprator3445
A couple short scenes would be cool tho
@StarTheWolfPuppy
I love that Russell Brand actually looks genuinely happy through this song and Alec Baldwin is just there like, "this better be worth the money."
@ElMarto
Baldwin hated the movie
@snoopymochi562
Max Delgado Yep, he thinks this movie is worse than Cat in the Hat and Boss Baby...
@jpp2377
Just saw the two of them talking about it - Alec said it was all about the money, Russell said he would do it for free
