All Eyes On MeThe Goo Goo Dolls

Songwriter: Mike Malinin Robby Takac John Rzeznik

[Verse 1]
Daylight burns your sleepy eyes
And it's hard to see you dreaming
You hide inside yourself
I wonder what you're thinking
And everything you're chasing
It seems to leave you empty

[Chorus]
And I won't take long to burn
All eyes on me
Through the nothing that you've learned
All eyes on me
And the things you choose to be
All eyes on me
But your eyes look away
It's so hard to be someone
Strung out from today
And all that you knew slips away

[Verse 2]
You drown in deeper oceans
Inventing new religions
They smile and stab my back and
I lie and have to laugh

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
And you hide in your room
And the lights turn away
And you move from the truth
It's all so far from you

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.
