I can't fight this feeling any longer
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 give my life direction, 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 fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing 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 following 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 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 fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.
The song "Can't Fight This Feeling" by Reo Speedwagon is about how a man cannot stop thinking about this girl and has to tell her how he feels. He says that she is running him in circles in his head, and he cannot fight his feeling for her. My thoughts towards this song are that I really like the music, but I also think that the words are interesting how he compares their relationship to different things like a ship. One poetic device used in this song is ryhme scheme. There are many different rhyme schemes in this song, but the main ones are the first two stanzas use ABAB, and the refrain uses AAAB for the first part, and AAAAA for the second part. Another poetic device the author uses in this song is metaphors, when he says, "It's time to bring this ship into the shore. . ." where he compares their relationship to a ship, and, "You're a candle in the window. . ." where he compares the girl to a candle. Lastly, this song has a hyperbole, when the author says, "Come crashing through your door. . ." where he exaggerated because he is not literally going to crash through her door. Overall, I enjoyed hearing this song, and I would like to hear more music by Reo Speedwagon.
