[Verse 1]
Give me a reason now that I can understand
Pick up the pieces now and put 'em in my hand
I've been up and down for you, my suffering extreme
I fell on my face for you, now I know what it means

[Chorus]
And I self destruct
I close my eyes and there
There you are
There you are
You are
There you are

[Verse 2]
Yeah, you can run out west, forget you know my name
You say you got your shit together, but you ain't got no faith
Method in madness now, there's madness in my soul
I run from the darkness, now I ain't got no place to go

[Chorus]
And I self destruct
I close my eyes and there
There you are
There you are
You are
There you are

[Outro]
There you are [2x]
You are
There you are [3x]

The Goo Goo Dolls

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.
