Can't Help Falling in Love
Unavoidable Love: Decoding the Meaning of 'Can't Help Falling in Love' by Sarah Menescal
Lyrics
Wise men say
Expressing a common belief or wisdom
Only fools rush in
Implying that only those lacking wisdom act hastily in love
But I can't help falling in love with you
Confessing an inability to resist falling in love with someone
Shall I stay?
Pondering whether to remain in the relationship
Would it be a sin
Raising the question of whether loving would be considered wrong
If I can't help falling in love with you?
Acknowledging the inability to control the feelings of love
Like a river flows
Comparing the flow of love to the natural course of a river
Surely to the sea
Asserting the inevitability of love reaching its destination
Darling, so it goes
Accepting the natural progression of love
Some things are meant to be
Expressing the belief that certain things are destined to happen
Take my hand
Inviting the beloved to join in the journey of life
Take my whole life too
Offering one's entire life to the beloved
For I can't help falling in love with you
Reiterating the inability to resist falling in love
Like a river flows
Repeating the analogy of love flowing like a river
Surely to the sea
Reaffirming the certainty of love reaching its destination
Darling, so it goes
Acknowledging the natural course of love
Some things are meant to be
Reiterating the belief in the inevitability of certain things
Take my hand
Extending the invitation to join in the journey of life
Take my whole life too
Offering one's entire life to the beloved once again
For I can't help falling in love with you
Repeating the confession of the inability to resist falling in love
For I can't help falling in love with you
Reiterating the sincere confession of falling in love
