Iris

At some point this was everyones song. The Goo Goo Dolls really outdo themselves on this one. Heard someone mention that they just love it when the Goo Goo Dolls get radio play that isn't Iris (even though there's nothing wrong with that) and in true fashion got me thinking about the song.

Is it love refused, love rejected or just love unknown. I guess it doesn't really matter when the outcome is the same.

And I'd give up forever to touch you,
Cause I know that you feel me somehow.
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be,
And I don't want to go home right now.

And all I can taste is this moment,
And all I can breathe is your life,
And sooner or later it's over,
I just don't want to miss you tonight.

And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And you cant fight the tears that ain't coming,
Or the moment of the truth in your lies.
When everything feels like the movies,
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive.

And I don't want the world to see me,
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I dont think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.

Giving up forever might be to lose a lot of time. On the other hand, a lot of time and nobody to share it might be even longer.
