And I'd give up forever to touch you,
Cause I know that you feel the same now.
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. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/goo_goo_dolls/iris.html ]
And you can't 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 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.
I think its about a person who hides themself away from everybody because he's scared [or she is scared] that no one will except them for who they are. All he/she wants to do is open to that one person so one person can know who they are.
To me it says, i want to show you who i am, but i don't know if i can. I want to be with you but it could kill me, i want to tell you everything but you'd never believe me if i did. I want to give everything up for you and love you... But it would mess things up so badly because of the way the world is. I wish i could feel you but the laws of reality won't let me unless i give up every single thing i have...
This song tells me that he doesn't want you to be ashamed of who he is or who others think of him. He doesnt' want to be hurt so he doesn't let you see him for who he really his.

I listen to this song all the time but... Its like a guilty pleasure. Whenever im in love i play this song cuz it always works up my nerve to ask her out... Then i get utterly rejected. Its pathetic i know but thats why i like the song. I hide myself from the world because they just couldnt understand me for me. Thats why i torture myself with this song. Its like suger and sionide (poison)

I don't know what the artist really meant, but it makes me think of a man named andy. Beautiful soul who has never found his love connection, he chases shadows and dreams and his heart breaks... I think it touches the heart of everyone, because everyone has something to hide, and everyone feels invisible sometimes...

The song is written from the perspective of an angel, who is desperatly in love with a human. The angel is not able to physically touch, or even be seen by the woman he loves. This song expresses how he feels toward her.

i love this sooo much and my fave lines here are:
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. ^^

Being aware of an instant where you know you have something special and knowing that it is a moment.
