I remember
It was September the third
When I said it all with just 3 little words
I know the way you wore your hair on that day
I know it sounds crazy--the heart's funny that way
But after all that you told me
I still gave it all that it's worth

I can't help how I feel
It's out of my hands
This time it's for real
I've gotta do all I can
With every kiss that I steal
The further I go
I can't help how I feel
Just like you can't help how you don't

I remember
It was December the fourth
When I finally asked you
Is it worth waiting for
I know you're still running from things in your past
I know nothing's changed, but I still had to ask
'Cause I just can't leave you
I'm just not that strong anymore

I can't help how I feel
It's out of my hands
This time it's for real
I've gotta do all I can
With every kiss that I steal
The further I go
I can't help how I feel
Just like you can't help how you don't

I've got nothing to show
Still I can't let go
With every kiss that I steal
The further I go
I can't help how I feel
Just like you can't help how you don't
Girl, you know I can't help how I feel
And you can't help how you don't
You can't help how you don't
