[Verse 1]
I hate to be a nuisance here
But i've been waiting half a year to say
You're bringing on the light
The second hand moves way to slow
Where did all those minutes go
I say, you're bringing on the light

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, oh yeah, bringing on the light
Oh yeah, oh yeah, bringing on the light

[Verse 2]
There's no right way to do
A wrong thing, i could hear you say
You're bringing on the right
We'll there's a quick trip there and i'm on return
So make the grade or feel the burn
You say, you're bringing on the light

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
There's a little place we used to go
It took the place of what we didn't know
It's like a magic show
Separating lies from fact
Oh, what kind of fun is that
You're just waiting for your time back
Go!

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Bringing on the light

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.
