“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 hu...
Iris 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 wanna go home right now
[Verse 2]
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
[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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're 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
[Instrumental Break]
[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
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
[Outro]
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’ll talk to the director, if that’s possible. I’ll talk to the music supervisor and ask them what kinds of things they want. To me, it’s a really great exercise for songwriting because you have to fit what you’re doing in a very suppor...
