[Verse 1]
I called you up all night until morning
Left my house by noon today (and I saw you standing there)
No one spoke but we both listened
Heard every word you didn't say
And the sun shines all around us
Smells like summer's on the way (and I saw you standing there)
Tell the story of a lifetime
Tomorrow brings a brand new day

[Chorus]
Don't worry about today (and the words that you said)
Don't worry about today (shake the world from your head)
Least for a while

[Verse 2]
You see, the days keep getting longer
But my nights seem longer still (and my TV's off the air)
Watching repeats on my ceiling
Another hour left to kill

[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.
