Wanna wake up where you are,
I won't say anything at all.
So, why don't you slide,
Yeah, I'm gonna let it slide..

This song is about a guy and a girl. The girl, raised by strict Catholic parents, got pregnant, and the guy and girl are trying to decide whether to have an abortion, get married, etc.

Their usual hard-rock sound missing, "Slide" continued a string of ballad-like hits for the Goo Goo Dolls.

from Dizzy Up Girl, available on CD

You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be,
And I don't want to go home right now..

This song always leaves me feeling emotionally shaken, but in a good way. The lyrics are really powerful.

The sound is amazing; the guitar sounds great.
One of the other instruments used is a mandolin.

Definately one of my favourite songs.
