I am so excited because I am seeing the Goo Goo Dolls tonight! I love them. And, yes, I understand that their music isn't exactly super artsy or unique (they are super mainstream) BUT I have always loved them. They are just a good ol' adult alternative band that I have been listening to since I was a kid. I have actually seen them before (along with uncle kracker and sugar ray- preteens' dream!) and they are great live. They don't use all that lame autotune or lip synch crap. They were my favorite actual band (backstreet boys were up there, but they are NOT a band) growing up, so, again, I am super excited.

My all time fav song from them is Name. It was their first hit and, I don't know, it just seems so natural compared to their other songs, like they weren't trying to keep up an image or create a perfect, clean sound. Still love the song, it still gets to me.
And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away
And now we're grown up orphans
That never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
But if 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 souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
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 you 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
I still can't turn away
Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away
And now we're grown up orphans
That never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
But if 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 souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
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 you 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
