Can't Fight This Feeling
Styx & REO Speedwagon Lyrics
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 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

I have lost sight of why I once resisted my feelings
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
It is time to bring my emotions to the surface
And throw away the oars, forever
And let go of any attempts to hold back my feelings
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
I am willing to do whatever it takes
Come crashing through your door
Even if it means taking bold actions
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
I cannot resist my emotions any longer
My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
My life has been a tumultuous whirlwind since I met you
I've been running 'round in circles in my mind
I have been overthinking and obsessing over you
And it always seems that I'm followin' you, girl
It seems that my heart is always leading me towards you
Cause you take me to the places
Because you bring me to new and amazing experiences
That alone I'd never find
That I could never discover on my own
Ooh
