    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

    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.

    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! ♥

    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

Live acoustic with no autotune or digital enhancements. Peace out and stay safe in the '020s.

    Reading through the comments, listening to this song and remembering the late 90s and early 2000s has made me realize that we are the first generation to grow old together in real time. 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.

      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.

      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.

    I was a 17 year-old girl, watching City of Angels in the theater by myself and this song played. It said everything I couldn't, and it's forever a part of my soul. Fast forward 25 years, and I'm going to finally see the Goo Goo Dolls live tomorrow 😍 Thank you for being such a special part of so many lives!

    My sister would play this song all the time 9 years ago. 2 years ago she died from cancer. She wanted me to play this at her funeral. I did. We will miss you Izzy. I loved growing up with you. I just want to eat one more bowl of ramen with her. I just want to listen to this with her. I just wish I could see her again. Fly high Izzy. I’ll always love you. Thank you for saving my life. Thank you for giving me my life. Thank you for everything. Fly high big sister. ❤️

    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.

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 😥
