Iris by Goo Goo Dolls

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
’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 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 don’t 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

This song is one of my favorites, but it has posed some sort of a challenge looking for what it really is trying to say. Then I was enlightened when I realized it was written for a movie and after reading the summary of the movie it makes a whole lot more sence, the movie is City of Angels in case you were wondering im going to go try and watch it soon. But before I found out about the movie I was actually starting to come to a conclusion about the song. I feel like this song is a timeline of a relationship between a man who feels like life is too go to be true between him and his girl. The first stanza I believe is the man feeling like he is in a place of isolation from his girl he really wants to be with but he cant. the second stanza is about the man finally getting to be with his girl, but he feels like its not going to last almost like he doubts himself to being of high enough standard for her. the fourth stanza i believe is the man feeling like things are too good for to be true he feels like he must be dreaming or not even be alive anymore. the chorus is the man just wanting to disappear to aviod the shame of not being good enough for her and they world wouldnt understand what they are doing together he feels like his relationship isnt meant to be at all but he just wants to be remember.
