Writer's block interlude

I have been sitting here trying to write something profound and nothing is coming. In the absence of a stream of opinion, I thought I would share the lyrics to my favorite song. Those who know me in the real world may find it suprising that the Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris" is the number one song on my list but that doesn't change the facts.

Iris
by Goo Goo Dolls

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
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

(break and solo)

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



Personally, "Iris" hits close to home lyrically on a couple of different levels. Throw in the beautifully assembled music, sweeping strings and charming acoustic guitar and the necessary ingredients for in place for "Iris" to catch me and tug me in a way that no other song can. There are several songs from Lifehouse that have a similar effect but nothing like "Iris."

I may go into more detail about this at a future time, however, it is time for me to pack it in for now.
