Pointless song-lyric post

"Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you'd 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
'Cause 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 can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems 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


What can I say? This journal needed some emoness, and I absolutely love this song.

That was the first Goo Goo Dolls song I ever heard of (note: not actually heard. I read many Buffy songfics back in the day).

hannahrorlove posted a bunch of Goo Goo Dolls songs on her journal this spring, and I fell in love with this one. I've been wanting one of their albums since.

And you call me emo?

You do realize that the origin of the term "emo" was from emo music? It's a perfectly legitimate genre of music, and can be quite good.

Now, if I had written that? Then there'd be issues.

Yeah, been there, been there.

I wasn't actually feeling angsty when I posted that- I just really like the lyrics and wanted to share.
