I remember, it was September, the third
When I said it all with just three little words
I know the way you wore your hair on that day
I know it sounds crazy, the heart's funny that way
And 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 that 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 that 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
And 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, mmm
