    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
    When 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'd 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

    Fun fact: The band confirmed the story of the music video. The man suffers from terrible agoraphobia and social anxiety. He's very lonely and every day he looks through his telescope to watch people interact and takes down notes on how to socialize. He tries going out several times but is too scared and ends up changing his mind. He then has a breakdown from the isolation. Eventually he has enough and at the end he musters up the courage to leave his roof and goes out to see the world and try to make himself happy

    I'm 23 years old, i never heard this song in my life before until last month, since then I've been hooked. I even watched city of Angels just because of this song. I can't stop replaying this song, Iris has definitely taught me to love music again, it's been since I was 16 that I found a song and fell in love with it. A friend once told me "you can't touch music, but music can touch you." I understand that now. Thank you Goo Goo Dolls! ♥

    Yes I'm still here in May 2034. I just turned 66yrs old but don't feel old listening to Rock n " Roll music that I grew up with in the 70's and 80's. I saw just about all the bands like Led Zeppelin, Robin Trower, Santana 3 times and many more. Back when tickets cost $15 for great seats up front. You could bring in your drinks and smoke back then . No hassles! But now listening to the Goo Goo Dolls, they are fantastic! Incredible music and love this song 🎵 ❤ and Here is Gone is a good one too.

Though millions of us have never met, from city to the boondocks, somehow we all share similar experiences and nostalgia. I imagine once we become elderly we will all still be sitting in these very comment sections reminiscing about 1998.

      The song is about God and his relationship to the body. (The Body says) “I’ll give up forever to touch you because I know that you feel me somehow, you’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be”, is the body speaking. (God says) “I don’t want the world to see me, because I don’t think that they’ll understand, when everything’s meant to be broken I just want you to know who I am”. God is begging the body to accept him this is why he repeatedly said “I just want you to know who I am”. This song is far deeper than people realize.

The lyrics ended up being rather close to heart, after a thorough listen, in a way that they weren't at all when this came out when I was in High School in 1998.

      This song is Satanic plain and simple. It is a song about the singer wanting a spirit to enter himself as he says "and I don't want the world to see me as I don't think that they'd understand" why is it that he doesn't want the world to see him???? Please don't tell me you think this was a lyric about a woman lol you'd want the world to know you thought about your girl right??? He is talking about wanting to be possessed and that he knows sooner or later it's over (his life once the spirit is done with him).....it's a dark evil song made to hide in plain sight. Sorry but things aren't what they seem. But carry on.

    • @J5SA

      Also, he keeps looking through the one eyed lense of the telescope.....one eye is showing one eyes is looking through into "space" notice also that there are no women in this video......because again he is NOT talking about a woman or love he is talking about the spirit he is trying to summon via this song. He is telling you who is talking to and what he is apart of via the imagery in the video. Wake up.

    Whenever this song starts to play, no matter where I am, I become silent and reflective. Thinking about what can never be. About love lost. Chances not taken. Trials failed. But like always I remember, life is what we make it. Sure there will be those times when you feel like it can only get worse, you've hit rock bottom and broken through. But never, ever, ever forget, that no matter how hard it gets, there's always tomorrow. Always a chance for change.

      😭THANK YOU, this is honestly something I needed to hear, I'm always contemplating life every day. Do you ever wake up ever thinking why am here?what's my purpose ? literally me every day only because we're never promised tomorrow 😔, so I'm honestly thankful and blessed to still have a secure mindset of where I am with my life. I don't want to come across as depressed but it's evidently obvious .Music is my coping mechanism . Sorry no one ever asked me how I am so yeah 😥

    Yup I'm here and always will be.. Takes me back in time when family was important and now I guess some people forgot how important it is to have those that look very you stay close. The song that really takes me back is "Name". Sometimes things are just better left unsaid.

      Cuz it is the point of the song. You can interpret in many ways. I would assume, when all is so great you start to sabotage yourself. because it is so unreal and you start to think that you don't deserve it. I mean the song is in some away about to broke this "all great" time and come to the truth and hope it will last.

    My wife walked down to this song at our wedding 10 years ago. This song means so much to both of us. It has helped us both get through some tough times. And Iris just reminds us that sometimes all we have is each other and we’ve got each other’s backs. Here’s to 10 more years and beyond, babe. I love you. ❤️
