The Goo Goo Dolls

[Verse 1]
You read the news
Turns you inside out
And everybody feels
The same as you
And uncertain times
The uncertain rules apply
Caught in the blind spot
Of mirrored love

[Chorus]
Can you feel real like you are
Can you feel alive, the way I feel your light
And the biggest chance that we can take
Is open arms and wide awake
Hold me now so we can feel alive
Tonight

[Verse 2]
I need to feel you there
I want to know where I belong
And I felt the sting the sting of corrosion
I need a safe place to close my eyes

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Oh, we were so lost
And there was so much more than you could bear
And i was cold in my defeat
You're alone and incomplete
When the sound could break down the walls

[Chorus]

[Outro]
So I can feel alive
Tonight

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, during one of Buffalo’s most prolific underground music phases. The band was formed by John Rzeznik (Also known as Johnny Rzeznik), lead singer and songwriter for the band, with bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Mike Malinin later replaced Tutuska as the band’s drummer.

The band has released twelve studio albums between 1986 and 2017, but they are best known for platinum-selling A Boy Named Goo (1995) and Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). These mid- to late 1990s albums contain the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest hits to date – Name and Iris most notably, but also Slide, Black Balloon, and Dizzy

These hits made the Goo Goo Dolls a household name for radio-friendly “prom night power balladry” (as one Rolling Stone review put it), but the band’s early output was often far rougher musically, melding the band’s edgier punk influences with an often soft sensibility in the mold of the band’s early heroes, The Replacements. One can hear these influences on many songs on A Boy Named Goo though these affinities would fade after Dizzy Up the Girl.
