Can't Fight This Feeling
Rock of Ages Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out this 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 crushing 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 around in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following 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 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

“Can't Fight This Feeling”『涙のフィーリング』
by Reo Speedwagon

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

もう気持ちを 抑えられんのや
愛が溢れ出しそうで 怖いで
ただの友達と 思ったんやけど
想いは 募るばかりや
ウチに告白する勇気が あるんやろか?

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

気持ちを 胸の内に仕舞えんやろ?
って 自問自答したんやけど
もう怖がることは あらへん
アンタと一緒やと 安心するし
アンタは ウチをさとし 道を示すんや
なんもかも ハッキリするんや!

*

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

いつも アンタを見つめてたで
アンタはまるで 寒い冬の夜に
窓に映る 蝋燭みたいや
想ったよりも もっと
愛しう なったんや

**

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

もう この気持ちには 抗えん 
なして 我慢しとったんやろ?
船を岸につけて オールを捨てる時が
来たで これからずっと 

*

'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

もう この気持ちには逆らえん
なして 我慢したのか 忘れてもうた
這いつくばって ドアを蹴り破っても
あんたに 打ち明けるんや
ダーリン もうこの気持ちを
抑えられないんや

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

あんたと 出会って
ウチの人生は 目まぐるしかった
堂々巡りで 答えが見つからんかったんやけど
ずっとあんたを追っかけてたんや
あんたは いつも 独りでは見つからん所に
ウチを連れてってくれるん

* ** * repeat

Am I the only one who felt like this pair was a lot more interesting than the main couple and deserved more screentime?

@maurad821

Me!!!!!!!

@jlanglois970

you aren't alone...if there was a spin off telling their story I would watch it all the time

@bornsmooth92

no you're not I loved these too

@coueyprator3445

It didn't deserve a spin off in my mind, they're more interesting
But they just needed more screen time not a movie

@coueyprator3445

A couple short scenes would be cool tho

I love that Russell Brand actually looks genuinely happy through this song and Alec Baldwin is just there like, "this better be worth the money."

@ElMarto

Baldwin hated the movie

@snoopymochi562

Max Delgado Yep, he thinks this movie is worse than Cat in the Hat and Boss Baby...

@jpp2377

Just saw the two of them talking about it - Alec said it was all about the money, Russell said he would do it for free
