Can't Fight This Feeling
Embracing Unspoken Love: REO Speedwagon's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
I can't fight this feeling any longer
I am unable to resist or deny this emotion any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
Despite that, I am still hesitant to express it freely
What started out as friendship has grown stronger
What began as a friendship has developed into a stronger feeling
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I only wish I had the courage to reveal my emotions
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I try to convince myself that I cannot endure this indefinitely
I said there is no reason for my fear
I assert that there is no rational cause for my fear
'Cause I feel so secure when we're together
Because I feel exceptionally secure when we are together
You give my life direction
You provide purpose and guidance to my life
You make everything so clear
You make everything in my life clear and understandable
And even as I wander
Even as I explore other paths
I'm keeping you in sight
I keep you in my focus
You're a candle in the window
You are like a guiding light in the darkness
On a cold, dark winter's night
Especially on a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I'm approaching a level of closeness I never expected
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I can't resist this emotion any longer
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
I've forgotten the initial reason for resisting
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
It's time to bring this relationship to a conclusion
And throw away the oars, forever
And abandon any efforts to resist, permanently
'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
Because I can no longer deny this emotion
I've forgotten what I started fightin' for
I've forgotten why I started resisting
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Even if I have to humble myself
Come crashing through your door
I'll forcefully enter your life
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
My dear, I can't resist this emotion any longer
My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
My life has been chaotic since I met you
I've been running 'round in circles in my mind
I've been mentally wandering in circles
And it always seems that I'm followin' you, girl
It always seems that I'm pursuing you
'Cause you take me to the places
Because you lead me to places I wouldn't discover alone
That alone I'd never find
Places that alone I'd never find
And even as I wander
Even as I explore other paths
I'm keeping you in sight
I keep you in my focus
You're a candle in the window
You are like a guiding light in the darkness
On a cold, dark winter's night
Especially on a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I'm approaching a level of closeness I never expected
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I can't resist this emotion any longer
I've forgotten what I started fightin' for
I've forgotten the initial reason for resisting
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
It's time to bring this relationship to a conclusion
And throw away the oars, forever
And abandon any efforts to resist, permanently
'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
Because I can no longer deny this emotion
I've forgotten what I started fightin' for
I've forgotten why I started resisting
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Even if I have to humble myself
Come crashing through your door
I'll forcefully enter your life
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
My dear, I can't resist this emotion any longer
Ooh
