LYRICS:
All I waited for
Was a chance to make you understand
And tell you these forgotten truths you never thought were real
And if the world should turn its back, you know that I'm still here
Time won't ever steal my soul
We're not broken, so please come home
Morning comes, and life moves on
And when it changed, you didn't know you belong
And I'll still catch you when you fall through a past that steals your sleep
And scroll these words upon your wall remind you to believe
Time won't ever steal my soul
We're not broken, so please come home
And if the world has worn you down
I'll be waiting, so please come home
I won't let them break you down
And I won't hear the empty sounds
I'm hopelessly pretending that I know the answer
Angel's light and neon fires that burn so cold through your desires
And all you are is all I need to know
When the world is insane
You get used to the pain
And you don't even know what you feel
And I am like you, all alone and confused
But you know it's not forever
Time won't ever steal my soul
And we're not broken, so please come home
And if the world has worn you down
I'll be waiting, so please come home Видеоклипы
He wrote this after a woman wrote to him, saying her husband was to scared to come home after losing a leg fearing that she wouldn't love him anymore, she asked Johnny to write a song for her husband, and this is the result
sum182forsoup What a legend of a man!
What a brilliant guy Johnny is
beautiful
Wow- a testament to true love so beautifully expressed in this song
Whoa, for real? I didn't know that. Makes me love this song even more knowing its backstory!
One of the most underrated band in the history of mankind. :(
Kozette Zhakov Totally 👍
Word
Agreed ...my partner don't even like them
True!
Damm true!
I've loved this band for 25 years. The lyrics are powerful enough to change your state from sad to grateful better than any drug. What a gift... Great music like this is timeless. They're as good or better live. Just saw them last week with my kids.
I don't know how John does it. I mean the lyrics he writes. They pack a punch. From songs like Slide, Broadway, Rebel Beat and of course ballads like this and Iris. The lyrics in this one I can't put into words. The video is one of the best they've shot. The lighting and the colors and the silhouettes in this are incredible.
GGD is the most underrated group of all time. Most of their songs deserve more airtime. I like everything they've done since Super Star Carwash.
You had me at underrated. Lol
You had me at underrated lol
They are by no means underrated they were just at they're peak back in the 90s n early 2000s..but is your younger and wasnt old enough to really remember that back then i get it..but ya just sayin..all good
2 years late on your comment, but these are sleepers.
Agreed. I have heard MANY of their songs, and I have NEVER heard a bad one by them.
This song is an overlooked gem.
Yes, Definitely one of their best songs of all. Inspirational and deep, Goo Goo Dolls are a cut above the rest of the music over the past 30 years. If you are deep in heart and soul their lyrics will penetrate and resonate.
Goo Goo Dolls has had me hooked for 10+ years. It's been an absolute pleasure going through my life and having this brilliant music. I will always associate certain moments in my life with this music, and it's a beautiful thing. Gives me shivers every time.
Same here! 20+ years for me, actually. :)
dude...Best comment! I AGREE!
so true so many moments attached
Totally agree with you 100 % Its been a beautiful ride!!
For example. I associate my parent's divorce with this song.
For people that don't understand the lyrics, John wrote this song as a "love letter" of sorts from a woman to her husband after she had given him a note at a meet and greet. He had injuries and didn't feel like the same person. In that context, I think the song makes sense and can also fit into many different areas of a person's life, not just a soldier's.
Goo's songwriting is absolutely stunning...I'm 35 and have been a huge fan of these guys since I was a young kid...Doesn't get any better than this folks.
it's funny because I'm a 33 year old man and this song has brought lots of tears to my eyes
enough fire to melt steel ;)
Not funny at all man. Shed those manly tears as much as you want. There's no shame in it. God bless!
im 16... but this song is... im just... in love with it
Jesus, you're 20 now...... time is crazy
explore all of the Goo Goo Dolls you wont be disappointed!
welcome to real music, this is coming from a 90s child.....
I'M 16 , Nostalgia ♡
21 now Tae Bae? This song is wonderful isn't it. I'm building a special affection for their music.
John is such a great songwriter!!
there awesome live 2 seen em 4 times.
my father was a World War 2 vet, and engaged to my mother. I am so very thoughtful he was one of the ones who came home
Bothers me so much that this song was really never given a chance on the radio , this should have been there 2nd "iris" ....How it didn't find its way into a movie soundtrack is beyond my comprehension...
I know the exact reason. It sucked. Sorry.
I can't possibly see how someone would think this song sucks. It's freaking amazing. One of the best songs ever written. I agree Michael Kormusis
Vivien Ballard
RUN "DCM" needs to stick to rap and learn his alphabet ......Thank you for seeing my side vivien , obviously you know what good quality music sounds like ...!
No problem dude Michael Kormusis
Yeah hallelujah by leonard Cohen, times they are changing by Bob Dylan, and sounds of silence by Simon and garfunkel, are not nearly the best songs written....it's clearly this half ass attempt at a sorry ass iris.
"Unbroken" is a brilliant song for fathers of teenagers.
I've been a fan, supporter, and a huge lover for you guys for over 15 years. Ever since i heard you, you've been my favorite band. You're one of the few artists who actually create true and meaningful music and art. Always and forever a fan. Keep on rockin' johnny and robby.
The Goo Goo Dolls are so good at these kinds of songs. I love their habit of using deeper lyrics than the typical group.
"Angels light the neon fires that burn so cold through your desires" - what an amazing grouping of words to convey a message. That is a true talent to be able to write lyrics like these.
THEY'RE SO FUCKING INCREDIBLY TALENTED AND VERY GOOD GUYS
Goo Goo Dolls is just a few 90s band that is still relevant nowadays and until now still making records.. they deserve to be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame someday... I love listening to their music..
I will ALWAYS Love you Johnny! My life has not been easy, but I find solace in your music! Thank YOU!
I have "time won't ever steal my soul" tattooed around my wrist. nothing to do with the song meaning... my dad had dementia and although the disease stole his thoughts , it never stole his soul. Brilliant saying that touched my soul :)
Good luck to you! My Uncle is currently battling dementia and it's pretty difficult.
Thank you for sharing such a personal thing!!!💖💞💖💞
I didnt have the chance to attend a concert for years. After I realized this, I told myself I would go befor I was 30- I was 29 my first concert. I was super lucky to see The Goo Goo Dolls!!!!!!
When the world is insane you get used to the pain. It's sad how true this is
You'r so right 😢
I heard them sing this live, in a small studio, and it blew me away. Seing the video brings tears to my eyes. I love how they made it so it fits all generations. :)
in my humble opinion this video hits the nail on the head for any military person who's ever been deployed .
I love it...too much for my own good.
Please tell me I wasn't the only one who thought about Treasure Planet when hearing the line "I'm still here."
Me too! :D
Peaandham Yeah! XD
I love 'i'm still here' !
How many reasons do I need to love the Goo Goo Dolls? They have talent, they are generous to their fans, they are always expanding what they write about and keeping it relevant. That is the way to become the Rock Icons they are!
One of my favorite songs. To John P, the love of my life that got away, time will never steal my soul, we’re not broken so please come home. And if the world has worn you down, I’ll still be waiting (always) so please come home. Love you always, forever, faithfully, Lys
Several of their songs bring tears to my eyes. I don't know of another band with so many songs with great lyrics.
This song and the Goo Goo Dolls have a profound impact on my life. Not only are they my all time favorite band, but they helped me get through a tough time in my life. Meaning I was going through some rough times during the years 2010 and 2011 with depression, anger, lose of hope. But this song, along with many more of their songs were able to help be get through those times stronger than before. Now i'm happier than I could ever be, with my beautiful girlfriend, who I met during my rough times.
Goo Doll I've been listening His music since 2000,i was just 16 years old,i couldn't forget it
It's been 9 years and this song is still my favorite. the part "when the world is insane and you get used to the pain and you don't even know what you feel" gets me everytime
Goo Goo Dolls is my Ultimate Favorite band for one simple reason:
Every band out there has some awesome songs, but only some.
Every single song that comes from Goo Goo Dolls, is pure gold.
There is no comparing the Goo Goo Dolls to everyone else, they're in a league of their own.
Period.
There is hope and love in this song.....
Great video. Time want ever steal my sole! 😢The world is insane…
One of the most beautiful songs, both in its lyrics and composition, that I've ever heard !!! It is powerful ! You'ld have to be made of marble not to be touched by this tune !!!Being 65, for me, I would rank this one right up with some of the finest of Simon and Garfunkel....on a par with the likes of the "Dangling Conversation", which also deals with relationship issues, much different of course than this, but compelling as can be.
Love the Goo's ...love Johnie and Robbie's heart,soul and lyrics ! Love watching them grow in their music! Keep writing,keep playing and PLEASE KEEP COMING HOME to WNY !!!! ❤️
This song really helped me through a tough time in my life. Multiple surgeries, pain killer addiction, almost losing the most important woman in my life, and realizing that some people see you as Not Broken afterwards. Its an amazing feeling! Starting to realize that I am not broken after all that has happened. Crawling out of that dark deep hole of self- pity and useless feeling was the best thing that ever happened to me. Thank You for the inspiration
Listening to this song in honor of the 9/11 10th anniversary. It's been 10 years but we're not broken and we'll always remember that day.
This is such an underrated song. The lyric is so good and meaningful.
Your music has got me through these years with the war in my mind and heart. The suffering I caused in war, and the blossoming of my heart through your music. Thank you for all you do.
I was waking up and I heard this song playing I cried it was unexpected so that's why , when beautiful songs like this play unexpectedly I cry especially to this one, I love the whole lyrics to this song it's words are words that are used in a way like no other song I love you goo goo dolls
I have the saying "Time won't ever steal my soul" tattooed around my wrist. Nothing to do with the songs meaning just love the saying. My dad had dementia and although the disease took his thoughts it never stole his soul...he was still my dad dispite the stranger he had become.
This man and the band is brilliant
Goo Goo Dolls is really awesome.
For those of you who don't know, John got his inspiration to write this song because of a letter from a fan whose husband had been injured overseas, and he didn't want to come home for fear of her not loving him as much as she used to, but she didn't care, she still loved him the same.
These guys are some of the best song writers period.
I love “something for the rest of us” so much. This album is definitely underrated in my opinion. I wish we had music like this in 2020.
If the world turns its back, I’m still here…life moves on…great video about our soldiers who were alone and confused
when the world gets insane you definitely get used to the PAIN and you dont even know what you feel !! SIGNS ND SYMPTOMS OF SOME ILLNESS !! but who gives a ____ !! RIGHT !!
That bridge of this song.
This song is so powerful. I cry almost every time. All of your songs are very powerful. Best band ever
my favorite line from this song and one of my favorite Goo Goo Dolls lines out of all of their songs, definitely within the top three of my favorite
"I still catch you when you throw all your past that steals your sleep.
scrawl these words upon your wall remind you to believe"
Gosh, I just love it!
*shudder*
+Sabra Zafarano yEs I actually did put some of these lyrics on a paper that I taped to my wall :D
Some of John R.s best lyrics!!
My family means everything to me
"time won't ever steal my soul!" So true. I love this song and Goo Goo Dolls! Long live awesome music!
probably their best song yet
This song is so sad! I cried.
this is real good music
The use of shadows and light in this video is simply Beautiful! The Ending always makes me tear up as well. A Perfect Music Video. And for All the military Veterans out there. Thank you for your service and for allowing us to enjoy our Freedoms! ❤
this is one of my favourite songs.
From the first time I heard Name on the radio, while driving my first car they have been my favorite band. Its thrilling to realize, as time has gone by, how much of all music has been influenced by them.
I think this is their finest cut! - maybe only me... but beyond great!
been following the goo goo dolls for a decade and they never let you down...
Goo Goo DOlls deserve more views. Make it happen people!
Everytime I hera this, I sob uncontrollably, and I have to listen to it until I stop silently screaming, and just hiccup. It is so beautiful, and with a beautiful message. If the man who this was written for reads this, I want him to know this man is rooting for him! And I hope for nothing but love and adoration for this man.
I get nothing but the 90s vibe from these guys and I fkin love it!!
goo goo dolls, vocês têm que fazer um show no Brasil...
How can a Beautiful most amazing song like this have 15 dislikes this song is truly amazing from the first time i heard it. =)
Wow what a SONG !! I DONT KNOW IF Johnny, You read these comments,. But I am so in love with you! GOD GAVE YOU THIS AMAZING GIFT YOURE SUCH A SUCCESS STORY, WHEN I WAS HOUNG YOU ARE EXACTLY THE MAN OF MY DREAMS,. NOT TO DISRESPECT I AM JUST OPEN., GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ..I NEVER GRT ENOUGH OF YOU SINGING! EVERYDAY ALL LONG, YOUR VIDEOS ARE ON MY TV. TAKE CARE
I swear they make the best music videos.
I came Home. Thank's god. I'm alive and uninjured.But i'm a'live. Thanks God. Amen
What.... I've been a Goo Goo Dolls fan for years. How have I never heard this song before? My God, this might be my new favorite song of theirs, it hits you right at home...
A salute to everyone else who knows the pain of losing someone and knowing that you are, in fact broken, and they will never come home.
Jesus, I need to go buy a bottle of whisky and cry myself to sleep.
This gave me chills at 47 seconds in.
One of those songs you just attach to someone special and always think of them, no matter what, when you hear it
the goo goo Dolls will always be a part of me every song I can relate to
every band has an "iris", but there are many songs of ggd like better days, all that you are, notbroken, before it's too late, here is gone, name, without you here, still your song...that are pure magic...
Okay, I watched this on Valentine's day and I cried.
I really cant pick a best song from them. I like them all
This gets me all choked up
Such a very moving and touching song...still gets me!
They are just so awesome! I can't get over them. From their punk beginnings to their pop rock albums of today, the Goo Goo Dolls are my favorite.
The last time I saw the Goo Goo Dolls in concert back in August, I really thought I couldn't love them or their music any more than I already do, until they played NotBroken, and I was just in awe, the music, the vocals, the lyrics, the combination was just amazingly epic. It literally blew my mind, I couldn't think about anything except for how freaking much I loved this song. It was an amazing moment for me. The Goo Goo Dolls have amazed me once again. :) Love you guys! :)
Beautiful.. I was left speechless for a minute after seeing it for the first time.. The soldiers are the real heroes . And they have to put their family behind to serve a still larger family- their Motherland. I salute them.
I love this song SO MUCH.. I was listening to it all day for bout 3 days straight!!!!
Best band of the 90s to today! Always great
I think that there is something to be said in that we call a song a song, and the creator an artist. The Goo Goo Dolls are one of the few bands of today that deserve that title.
Seriously, 104 people don't know good rocking music. This is the best track from something for the rest of us album, hands down.
Thank you Johnny, healing music
I wish more people heard bands like these.
Brilliant.
He has an amazing voice
I hate most of the music I listened to as a teenager. The Goo Goo Dolls are an exception.
so please come home.....
It funny how I can go from watching an Aaliyah music video to a Michael Jackson video to a Goo Goo Dolls video and then wrap it up with a little bit of Metallica. I just love music. Good music that is lol!
Again, another Goo Goo Dolls song that saved my life . . . she had crutches, too, did you see them? ❤❤
like their music and words really good
The two comments deserve to be top comments, glad you're happy now and yes this song is very under appreciated :)
the first time i heard this song, it was introduced as a track written on the back of a letter that had been sent to them by a woman whos husband had lost a limb in the war and was frightened he wouldn't love her anymore. So in that sense the video makes more sense and the words have much more meaning :)
these guys saved my life the only reson im still here
Amazingly powerful song...God Bless All Who Serve and Have Served...We Salute Your Service.
