[Verse 1]
I look outside my window, everything was blanketed in white
The neighbors pushing cars out from snow that fell on us last night
Started thinking about the things we used to do when we were young
Back when things were simple, getting up was fun

[Chorus]
I couldn't care, because I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there

[Verse 2]
Turn around and face the clock
I sit and watch, as time went hopping by
I'm still growing up, my friends are growing old before my eyes
Count the stars above, wonder when the heavens will subside
Knowing our two worlds will someday just collide

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Just a boy who's young at heart, his smile was a bit like yours today
Had a wife, a kid, some strife, never had to go astray
Happiness evolved, life was in full swing at 17
All the things he wanted were things he'd never seen

[Outro]
It don't seem fair, because I'm already there
I'm already there, and I'm ready there

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.
