About Iris

“Iris” was written for the 1998 film City of Angels starring Nicolas Cage. John Rzeznik explained: When I wrote it, I was thinking about the situation of the Nicolas Cage character in the movie. This guy is completely willing to give up his own immortality, just to be able to feel something very human. And I think, ‘Wow! What an amazing thing it must be like to love someone so much that you give up everything to be with them.’ That’s a pretty heavy thought. .

Iris Lyrics

[00:12.00] And I'd give up forever to touch you
[00:16.36] 'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
[00:21.03] You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
[00:25.86] And I don't want to go home right now
[00:30.82] And all I can taste is this moment
[00:35.65] And all I can breathe is your life
[00:40.15] And sooner or later, it's over
[00:44.58] I just don't wanna miss you tonight
[00:49.17] And I don't want the world to see me
[00:53.96] 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
[00:58.87] When everything's made to be broken
[01:03.36] I just want you to know who I am
[01:09.29]
[01:20.02] And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
[01:24.21] Or the moment of truth in your lies
[01:29.45] When everything feels like the movies
[01:33.94] Yeah, you bleed just to know, you're alive
[01:38.78] And I don't want the world to see me
[01:43.25] 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
[01:48.69] When everything's made to be broken
[01:52.72] I just want you to know who I am
[01:58.70]
[03:30.59] And I don't want the world to see me
[03:35.33] 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
[03:40.28] When everything's made to be broken
[03:44.45] I just want you to know who I am
[03:51.43] And I don't want the world to see me
[03:56.07] 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
[04:00.67] When everything's made to be broken
[04:05.05] I just want you to know who I am
[04:09.56] I just want you to know who I am
[04:14.16] I just want you to know who I am
[04:18.95] I just want you to know who I am
[04:22.76]
