Can't Help Falling In Love
Edlais Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you?
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you
The song “Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Elvis Presley has become a classic love song and has been covered by various artists, including Edlais. The song speaks about the feeling of falling in love and the inevitability of it. The first verse starts with the wise saying that “only fools rush in.” This means that it is foolish to enter a serious relationship quickly without giving it thought. However, the singer says that despite understanding this wise advice, he can’t help but fall in love with the person he is singing to. The second verse asks whether it would be a sin to stay and continue to fall in love with the person. This suggests there may be some external factors or circumstances that prevent the singer from pursuing this love.
The chorus of the song compares falling in love to a river flowing to the sea, which represents the natural course of things. The singer believes that this love is meant to be, and he can’t help but feel this way. The last verse is an invitation for the person being sung to, to take the singer’s whole life and hand, because he can’t help falling in love with them. The repetition of the chorus and the last line affirms the strength of the singer’s feelings and his belief that it is an inevitable force beyond his control.
