Irish
Goo Goo Dolls · Other Songs - Goo Goo Dolls
And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
Verse 2
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
Chorus
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
Verse 3
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive
Chorus
And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
Chorus
I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
Irish - Goo Goo Dolls
Released in 1998, 'Irish' stands as a defining track in the catalog of Goo Goo Dolls, capturing the band's signature blend of alternative rock and melodic pop. The song features Paul Westerberg's distinctive vocals and a driving rhythm that became a staple of their live performances and radio rotation during the late 1990s. While often associated with their broader body of work from the *Dizzy Up The Girl* era, this recording highlights the group's ability to craft anthemic songs that resonated deeply with audiences. Its enduring popularity reflects the band's influence on the alternative rock genre and their success in creating music that bridged the gap between stadium rock and mainstream accessibility.
