My Song #6


Continuing from my previous post, 10 Songs that have helped me define how I feel, how I see myself or how I see the my world over the past few years.


One for my children.



Goo Goo Dolls - Iris


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
Cause 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 seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your 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

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

Another of my favorites.

But I don't get why it's for your kids?? Maybe it's because I've infused this music and these lyrics with so much of my own goofy crap that I can't see it for what YOU see it for.

Ha! I'm making no sense whatsoever!! Hooray for Friday the 13th!!

Funny thing about songs isn't it? Everyone hears the same words but applies them differently.

Why for my children? Because my children are the closest to heaven that I'll ever be and I want to cherish that for as long as I can.

This song really hit home with me a few years ago. Not as much these days and that's a good thing.

There was a time when I didn't want to face the world and I wanted to make sure my children knew the real me, not the one the world forces me to be sometimes. This song seems to speak to that for me.

I like this song too.
It has served painful moments in my life, but it moves me still...
