30 Day Song Challenge: Day 1

On Facebook, a lot of people are doing the "30 Day Song Challenge", including me. Since I do not want to lose it after I have done it and because I think this would be a good, fun thing to look back on.

So you know: Probably won't stretch it out over 30 days. Will probably do them bam, bam, bam right in a row. Cuz that's how I roll.

Day 1: Your Favorite Song

Gun to my head (though why anyone would be holding a gun to my head demanding that I tell them my favorite song...anyways, back to the point....) Gun to my head, I will tell you every time that my most favorite song is "Iris" by Goo Goo Dolls.

As way of explanation, I am a hopeless romantic that was 11 years old when that song (and the movie, "City of Angels", it is associated with) came out. But I like songs that make me feel, that make me react. And this song has always, after 13 years of being my favorite song, has always taken my breath away. Does that make me a total girl? Oh, heck yeah. But hey--news flash...kinda AM a girl, ya know?

Lyrics:

Verse 1

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
