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

I can't fight this feeling any longer
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 only wish I had the strength to let it show
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
I rationalize that there is no justification for my apprehension
'Cause I feel so secure when we're together
Because I feel comfortable and confident in your company
You give my life direction
You guide me and give me purpose in life
You make everything so clear
You clarify my thoughts and help me make sense of things
And even as I wander
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
You provide me with hope and a light in the darkness
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

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
