Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • 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

Echo the hook

  • Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
  • My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
