Goo Goo Dollsis an alternative rock band formed in 1985 in Buffalo, New York by guitarist/vocalist John Rzeznik and bassist/vocalist Robby Takac. They are perhaps most famous for the hit "Iris", featured on the soundtrack to the 1998 film City of Angels. Currently, the band consists of John Rzeznik (guitar, vocals), Robby Takac (vocals, bass) and Mike Malinin (drums). Early in their career, the Goo Goo Dolls were frequently dismissed by critics as mere imitators of the Replacements; however, the band refined and mainstreamed their sound enough to become one of the most popular adult alternative rock bands of the latter half of the '90s, selling millions of records to audiences largely unfamiliar with their inspirations. That's no knock on the band, either -- their music simply improved in craft and accessibility as the years progressed, and radio happened to be receptive to what a decade earlier would have been considered collegiate power pop.

Already There Lyrics
Goo Goo Dolls
I look outside my window,
Everything was blanketed in white.
The neighbors pushing cars,
Out from snow that fell on us last night.
I started thinking,
Bout the things we used to do when we were young.
Back when things were simple,
Getting up was fun.
I couldnt care, cuz Im already there.
Im already there, and Im ready there.
Turn around and face the clock,
Id sit and watch, as time went hoppin by.
Im still growing up,
My friends are growing old before my eyes.
Count the stars above,
Wonder when the heavens will subside.
Knowing our two worlds,
Will someday just collide.
Just a boy whos young at heart,
His smile was a bit like yours today.
Had a wife, a kid, some strife,
Never had to go astray.
Happiness evolved,
Life was in full swing,
At 17, all the things he wanted,
Were things hed never seen.
It dont seem fair, cuz Im already there.
Im already there, and Im ready there.
