Can't Fight This Feeling
Alec Baldwin 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 Alec Baldwin's song "Can't Fight This Feeling," the lyrics are about a person who has fallen in love with someone they have been friends with for a while. They are afraid to let their feelings show, but they have come to the realization that they cannot fight these emotions any longer. The relationship has grown stronger over time, and the person in love wishes they had the strength to express it. In the first verse, the person acknowledges their fear and how the friendship turning into something more has made it difficult for them to let their emotions flow freely.
As the song progresses, the person comes to the realization that they cannot hold out forever. They feel secure when they are together, and this gives their life direction and purpose. The second verse expresses how the person feels lost in life but still has the other person in their sights like a candle in a window on a cold, dark night. They feel they are getting closer to the person they love and cannot fight their feelings any longer.
In the chorus, the person proclaims that they are no longer fighting their emotions and expressed that they have forgotten why they started fighting in the first place. It is time to bring this ship into the shore and throw away the oars forever, meaning that there is no going back from this. The closing lines re-iterate the person's willingness to do whatever it takes, even if that means crawling through a door, to express their love.

“Can't Fight This Feeling”『涙のフィーリング』
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
