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 wanna go home right now And all I could taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life And sooner or later, it's over I just don't wanna 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 I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am 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 comin' Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah, you bleed just to know you're 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 just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am 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 just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am

A canção foi escrita especificamente para o filme “City of Angels” de 1998, com a ideia de capturar a vontade do personagem de Nicolas Cage de abandonar a imortalidade para sentir algo humano.
John Rzeznik revelou que a inspiração veio ao imaginar a entrega extrema do personagem ao amor, descrevendo isso como algo “impressionante” e “muito humano”.
“Iris” acabou se tornando um dos maiores e mais reconhecíveis sucessos da Goo Goo Dolls, superando o próprio filme em notoriedade.
O sucesso da faixa provou que uma composição originalmente criada para um cenário cinematográfico pode, por vezes, ultrapassar o impacto da obra‑origem que a recebeu.
