/ Songs & Lyrics / Song


Later that week Iris reached to number 3 on the UK charts, the highest position since it release.
According to a news article "Iris has been a steady seller in Great Britain since its original release in 1998, enjoying more than 433,000 in sales, and racking up more than 30 million views on YouTube."
In that same article John said: "I love the fact that young artists are inspired to sing this song. It opened a lot of doors for us. To see it hit No. 1 in the U.K. and connect with a growing new audience is cool."

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
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
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
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yhea you bleed just to know you're alive
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
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
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
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
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yhea you bleed just to know you're alive
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

.@iamdaytripper "just heard iris... and wondered if you recall where you where when you wrote the lyrics?"
In a hotel room in Los Angeles.
John Rzeznik @Johnrzeznik1
I'll never write another iris
I live in that shadow always but I'm grateful I have that shadow
John Rzeznik @Johnrzeznik1
