Can't Fight This Feeling

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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

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

I am unable to resist my emotions any further


And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
However, I am scared to express my feelings openly


What started out as friendship has grown stronger
What began as a platonic relationship has developed into something deeper

I wish I had the courage to reveal my true emotions


I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I remind myself that I cannot continue to suppress my feelings indefinitely


I said there is no reason for my fear

Because I feel comfortable and confident in your company


You give my life direction
You guide me and give me purpose in life

Even as I drift or wander aimlessly


I'm keeping you in sight
You're always on my mind


You're a candle in the window

On a cold, dark winter's night
During the hardest and most difficult times


And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I find myself drawing closer to you than I ever expected


I've forgotten what I started fighting for
I can no longer recall why I was originally opposed to this relationship


It's time to bring this ship into the shore
It's time to end the resistance and come to a resolution


And throw away the oars forever
And abandon any prior efforts to row away from this situation


And if I have to crawl upon the floor
And if it requires me to humbly beg or plead


Come crashing through your door
I am willing to show up uninvited and demand your attention


Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
My affection for you is too strong, and I can no longer resist it

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 fightin' for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

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 followin' you, girl
'Cause you take me to the places
That alone I'd never find

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 fightin' 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 fightin' for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
Ooh
