[Verse 1]
When you kissed me, yeah I felt so alive
And every little secret you told me I keep down inside
And in that heated moment yeah we swore we'd never change
But all those pretty pictures they just start to fade away
And everything that I believed is getting hard to find
And have I lost the only one who ever felt like mine

[Chorus]
Now I'm caught in this storm we call love
So alone, come find me
Out on my own, take me home
Don't you know I'm lonely
I'll give you everything that you ask of me
And I'll give you everything if it makes you believe
'Cause I'm caught in this storm we call love

[Verse 2]
I was taught to always turn the other cheek
And you know I took a beating and I stayed up on my feet
And this faith is getting heavy but you know it carries me
From the streets, to the river
Where the broken dreams flow out into the sea
I keep on looking but something's always missing
I keep on looking for something bigger than me
From the saints to the sinners
All the losers and the winners
Yeah we're all just looking for something
Something to believe in

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm caught in this storm we call love
So alone, come find me
Out on my own, take me home
Don't you know I'm lonely
I'll give you everything that you ask of me
And I'll give you all i have if it makes you believe
'Cause I'm caught in this storm we call love
We call love (we call love)

[Bridge]
I'm tired of sleeping, sleeping through my own life
It's time to wake up, wake up with eyes open wide
I'm tired of sleeping, sleeping through my own life
It's time to wake up with arms open wide

[Chorus]
Now I'm caught in this storm we call love
So alone, come find me
Out on my own, take me home
Don't you know I'm lonely
I'll give you anything that you ask of me
And I'll give you all I have if it makes you believe
'Cause I'm caught in this storm we call love

I'm tired of sleeping, sleeping through my own life
It's time to wake up, wake up with eyes open wide
I'm tired of sleeping, sleeping through my own life
It's time to wake up with arms open wide
Open wide

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.
