The Goo Goo Dolls

Songwriter: Robby Takac

[Verse 1]
And I've had to fight
Another blurred affair tonight
Eyelids wrestle once again
Never going to see my friend
Guided by the blinding white
Have you left home in spite
From knowing I'm alone tonight
Waiting for the light of day
Doesn't matter anyway
Something that I need to say

[Pre-Chorus]
And I've gone underground
I'm never hanging around
Should've made it back again

[Chorus]
Why can't the moon stay full forever?
Wednesday's bad but Friday's ain't much better
(Someone's hell)
Why can't the moon stay full forever?
Right now she's got nothing on her mind

[Verse 2]
Will this neverland
Free me from its clutching hand
It won't release me

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

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.
