Lyrics
I remember
I recall a past memory
It was September the third
The specific date was September the third
When I said it all with just three little words
Expressing feelings using only three words
I know the way you wore your hair on that day
Noticing and remembering the way you styled your hair on that day
I know it sounds crazy—the heart's funny that way
Acknowledging the unpredictability of the heart
But after all that you told me
Despite hearing everything from you
I still gave it all that it's worth
Investing everything into the relationship
Chorus:
< em > Chorus:
I can't help how I feel
Unable to control the emotions
It's out of my hands
Acceptance of a lack of control
This time it's for real
Emphasizing the genuine nature of the current situation
I've gotta do all I can
Determined to do everything possible
With every kiss that I steal
Every stolen kiss intensifies the journey
The further I go
The more I progress, the deeper the emotions become
I can't help how I feel
Reiterating the lack of control over feelings
Just like you can't help how you don't
Comparing the inability to control emotions with the inability to control not feeling
I remember
Revisiting another past memory
It was December the fourth
Specifically, it was December the fourth
When I finally asked you
Pondering if the relationship is worth the wait
Is it worth waiting for
Addressing unresolved issues from the past
I know you're still running from things in your past
Acknowledging that certain things still haunt you
I know nothing's changed, but I still had to ask
Despite the lack of change, still asking the question
'Cause I just can't leave you
Being unable to leave despite the difficulties
I'm just not that strong anymore
Admitting vulnerability and emotional weakness
(Chorus)
< em > (Chorus)
I've got nothing to show
Feeling a lack of achievement or progress
Still I can't let go
Despite the lack of tangible results, unable to move on
With every kiss that I steal
Repeating the impact of stolen kisses on the emotional journey
The further I go
As the journey progresses, the emotions intensify
I can't help how I feel
Reiterating the inability to control feelings
Just like you can't help how you don't
Drawing a parallel with the inability to control not feeling
Girl, you know I can't help how I feel
Affirming the uncontrollable nature of emotions
And you can't help how you don't
Highlighting the parallel inability to control not feeling
You can't help how you don't
Reiterating the inability to control not feeling
