Iris
Sara Phillips Lyrics

The first verse of Sara Phillips's song "Iris" finds the singer willing to give up everything in order to have a chance to touch the person she cares for. She believes that, somehow, that person feels her presence. She goes on to describe that person as the closest thing to heaven that she'll ever experience and that she doesn't want to leave the moment. The second verse finds the singer enjoying the present moment and every breath she takes is filled with the feeling of being alive, but she also knows that the moment will eventually be over. The singer is afraid of missing the chance to be with the person she cares for.

The chorus repeats a few times throughout the song with slight variations. The singer doesn't want the world to see her or understand what she feels because everything is meant to be broken. She just wants the person she cares for to know who she is. The singer feels that she is bleeding to prove that she's alive, but the world can't see what's really going on inside of her. She just wants to be understood by the person she cares for.

Overall, "Iris" is a song about the intense longing and desire to be with someone, even if the relationship is fragile and might not last. The singer is afraid of being misunderstood by the world, but just wants one person to know who she is and what she feels.
