Goo Goo Dolls
xcompgeek asked:


after reading the lyrics to iris by the goo goo dolls, what other song do you think are like it?
in other words, what other song do you think has a similar message?

& 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
And 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
i’ve been trying to find a song that has a similar message and is like it lyrically, and i haven’t been able to. I need to find one that connects with it for an english poetry assignment.

    Well the song is about being in love and how one person can complete you in ways you never knew before so you have a wide selection considering how almost every artist writes about love.

    Iris is my fave song of all time. Look up “Sleeping to Dream” by Jason Mraz. You can get the lyrics at lyricsondemand.com…same general message..iris..”I’d give up forever to touch you”…sleeping to dream…”sleeping to dream about you and I’m so tired of having to live without you but I don’t mind sleeping to dream about you and I’m so tired”…you can hear the son gon my myspace music player.

    Aerosmiths version of I dont want to miss a thing is pretty much the same format and lyric content

    I’m not sure if you’ll agree, but this song by Diamond Rio popped into my head when i was reading your lyrics. It’s called ONE MORE DAY

    Last night I had a crazy dream
    A wish was granted just for me
    It could be for anything
    I didn’t ask for money
    Or a mansion in Malibu
    I simply wished, for one more day with you

    One more day
    One more time
    One more sunset, maybe I’d be satisfied
    But then again
    I know what it would do
    Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you

    First thing I’d do, is pray for time to crawl
    Then I’d unplug the telephone
    And keep the TV off
    I’d hold you every second
    Say a million I love you’s
    That’s what I’d do, with one more day with you

    One more day
    One more time
    One more sunset, maybe I’d be satisfied
    But then again
    I know what it would do
    Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you

    Leave me wishing still, for one more day
    Leave me wishing still, for one more day

    Last night I had a crazy dream
    A wish was granted just for me
    It could be for anything
    I didn’t ask for money
    Or a mansion in Malibu
    I simply wished, for one more day with you

    One more day
    One more time
    One more sunset, maybe I’d be satisfied
    But then again
    I know what it would do
    Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you

    First thing I’d do, is pray for time to crawl
    Then I’d unplug the telephone
    And keep the TV off
    I’d hold you every second
    Say a million I love you’s
    That’s what I’d do, with one more day with you

    One more day
    One more time
    One more sunset, maybe I’d be satisfied
    But then again
    I know what it would do
    Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you

    Leave me wishing still, for one more day
    Leave me wishing still, for one more day
