Can't Help Falling In Love
Jolie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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
In Jolie's song "Can't Help Falling in Love," the singer expresses their inability to control falling head over heels in love with someone, even though the wise say that only fools rush in. The artist is unsure if staying with this person would be considered a sin, but they cannot resist the love they feel. The metaphor of a river is used throughout the song to illustrate the natural, inevitable path that leads to the sea, representing the inevitability of love when it is meant to be. The artist is entrusting their entire life to the person they love, as they cannot help but fall in love with them.
