Avril Lavigne and Johnny Rzeznick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that I feel you somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understands
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
[John Rzeznik:]
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
So hen everything feels like the movies
[Avril Lavigne & John Rzeznik:]
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 understands
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 understands
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 understands
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
The lyrics to Avril Lavigne's "Iris" are a passionate expression of love and desire. The singer is expressing a desire to be close to someone, to be in their presence and touch them, because it makes them feel connected to them in a way they never have before. The person they are addressing is "the closest to heaven that I'll ever be", and they don't want to go home because they are afraid of losing this feeling of unity. The singer is so consumed by this moment and by their lover that they don't want to miss a single second of it.
The next verse, sung by Johnny Rzeznik, goes deeper into the singer's feelings of vulnerability and fear. He acknowledges that sometimes we all cry, even when we try to hold back our tears. And in those moments of vulnerability, we realize just how much we need and value the people around us. Rzeznik explains that life can feel like a movie, where every hardship and struggle is just part of the story. And even though it can hurt, we still want to feel alive. The chorus then repeats, emphasizing the idea that in a world that is often cruel and unforgiving, all the singer wants is for their lover to know who they are.
Overall, these lyrics are an honest and real expression of the need we all have for human connection and understanding. They remind us that even in the darkest and most difficult times, having someone who truly knows us and loves us can be the thing that keeps us going.

@Peterstarzynskitech
One thing about Avril Lavigne is that when she sings other people's songs, she doesn't try to sound like them. She does it as if she made the song. Love that.
@adrianfischer8149
Ever heard of Mr. Elvis Presley?
@jenelyntomaquin2274
So Taylor too
@elegantlywasted4580
Lol basic
@ADirtyLeviathan
No I’m a performer and her voice is shaking, I think she kept her singing basic because she is nervous AF because of her love and respect for GGD and Johnny. I love Avril I’m not putting her down, I’m actually pointing out how beautiful it is to see her nervous next to someone she admires so much.
