We all have our favorite music...styles, bands, songs... Music we think is really fun, rocking, or otherwise just... indefinably awesome. But how often do you run into a band or song whose lyrics really have...soul? Lyrics that just seem to speak to you. And for you. The Goo Goo Dolls do that for me. And with all the chaos and strange luck that life has brought, me there's one song that just feels like it was written for me. I wonder if any of you knows why...
"And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
You saw the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Tossed along the way
Letters that you never meant to send
Lost or blown away
And now we're grown up orphans
That never knew their names
Don't belong to no one, that's a shame
You could hide beside me, maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
Scars are souveneirs you never lose
The past is never far
And did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are?
You grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
I think about ya all the time, but I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are, come back down
And I won't tell 'em your name"
