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.

Another Second Time Around Lyrics
Goo Goo Dolls
Happy, smilin, cryin upwards to my past,
I guess those stormy gray skies simply couldnt last.
And now I find myself a-tugging at your dress.
The fun of holding you down, or seeing you frown is never gonna pass.
Somewhere theres a place a soul can never go,
Gray-like stormy skies I hoped you didnt know.
All our postcards full of things I wont forget.
And now its coming down, that laughing clown is all I ever get.
Another second time around.
Ive been runnin from ya
Another second time around.
Another second, one more second time,
I waited for ya, another second time around.
Couldnt help myself,
I felt like everything was gonna pass.
It was an awkward time,
I hoped it wouldnt, hoped it couldnt last.
And I didnt know exactly what to say,
About the things you saw me do my evil way.
And I know youre lyin, cryin in your bed.
Well Im all tired out, so wired out, its ringing in my head.
