Can't Help Falling in Love
twenty one pilots Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
'Cause 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, oh

Take my hand
Take my whole life too
'Cause I can't help
Falling in love with you

'Cause I can't help
Falling in love with you





But I can't help
Falling in love with you

Overall Meaning

The song "Can't Help Falling In Love" by twenty one pilots is a beautiful and emotional interpretation of the classic love song originally sung by Elvis Presley. The lyrics depict the feelings of being helplessly in love with someone, even though others may caution against it. The first verse references "wise men" who say that only fools rush in, but the singer cannot help falling in love with the other person. The next two verses focus on how the singer feels about their love interest - like a river flows surely to the sea, some things are meant to be. The final verse repeats the refrain and emphasizes how much the singer desires to be with the person they love.


The interpretation of these lyrics can be different for everyone, but generally, the song speaks to the feeling of being so drawn to someone that it's impossible to resist falling in love with them. The use of "wise men" in the lyrics suggests that the singer is aware of the potential risks, but their feelings are so strong that they cannot help themselves. The comparison to a river flowing towards the sea is also powerful imagery that evokes a sense of inevitability and naturalness.


As interpreted by twenty one pilots, "Can't Help Falling In Love" is a poignant and heartfelt love song that reminds listeners of the irresistible nature of love. It speaks to the universal human experience of being swept off your feet by someone and unable to resist their charms.

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.
