Today Hit: Iris - Goo Goo Dolls (1998)

La Today Hit di oggi è Iris dei Goo Goo Dolls, estratta dall'album Dizzy up the girl del 1998.

Iris, come molti ricorderanno, è stata originariamente inserita nella colonna sonora del film City of Angels del 1998, anche se poi la band ha deciso di includerla nell'album studio Dizzy up the girl. Il pezzo ebbe davvero un enorme successo ed è sicuramente il più conosciuto dei Goo Goo Dolls, avendo così contribuito alla loro popolarità mondiale.

Il singolo ha raggiunto la prima posizione nelle classifiche di molti paesi, tra cui anche l'Italia ed è tutt'oggi una delle canzoni più belle scritte negli ultimi anni.

LYRICS

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
