Mt. Moon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just can't help falling in love with you)
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I say would it be a sin
(Be a sin)
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows (Oh)
To the sea (Oh)
So it goes
Some things are meant to be
Some things are meant to be

[Chorus]
Take my hand (take my hand)
Take my whole life too (life too)
For I can't help falling in love with you
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I, I can't, I can't help
Falling in love (falling in love)
With you (with you)

Like a river flows (Oh)
To the sea (Oh)
So it goes
Some things are meant to be
Some things are meant to be

[Chorus: x2]

Like a river flows
That's the way it goes
I just can't help fallin' in love with you
(Fallin' in love with you)
Like a river flows (yea yea)
That's the way it goes ('cause I can't)
Fallin' in love with you
Like a river flows (I just can't help myself)
That's the way it goes
I can't help falling in love with you
(I can't help falling in love with you)




(I can't help falling in love with you)
Fallin' in love with you

I'm questioning whether it's morally wrong to feel this way about you when it goes against what wise men say.


If I can't help falling in love with you
It's not my fault that I'm falling in love with you, it's just something that's happening to me beyond my control.


Like a river flows (Oh)
Just like a river flows, my feelings for you flow naturally and uncontrollably.


To the sea (Oh)

This is just the natural course of things, and it's happening without either of our control.

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?

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

I remember watching this when I was 13 ten years ago and I still love this just as much now. I remember singing it at concerts and crying at 15 and 16 with my loved ones. Now I’m 23 and still this creates such a strong emotion for me. I love this and I love top. Thank you for touching so many people and changing my life.
