“Can’t Fight This Feeling” is Bastille’s take on the original power ballad written by American rock band REO Speedwagon. The cover first appeared in the annual John Lewis & Partners and Waitrose Christmas Advert in the year 2019.
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
And even as I wander, I'm keeping you in sight

And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
[Chorus]
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 crashing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
