I'm Still Here Lyrics
I am a question to the world,
Not an answer to be heard.
All a moment that's held in your arms.
And what do you think you'd ever say?
I don't listen anyway:
You ignore me,
And I'll never be what you want me to be.
And what do you think you'd understand?
I'm a boy, not a man.
You can take me and throw me away.
And how can you learn what's never shown?
Yeah, you stand here all alone.
They don't know me 'cause I'm not here.
And I want a moment to be real,
Wanna touch things I don't feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
And how can the world want me to change,
They're the ones that stay the same.
The don't know me,
'Cause I'm not here.
And you see the things they never see
All you wanted, I could be
Now you know me, and I'm not afraid
And I wanna tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man?
They can break me
As long as I know who I am
And I want a moment to be real,
Wanna touch things I don't feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
And how can the world want me to change,
They're the ones that stay the same.
They can't see me,
But I'm still here.
They can't tell me who to be,
'Cause I'm not what they see.
And the world is still sleepin',
While I keep on dreamin' for me.
And they'll want to just whispers,
And lies that I'll never believe.
And I want a moment to be real,
Wanna touch things I don't feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
And how can the world want me to change,
They're the ones that stay the same.
I'm the one now,
'Cause I'm still here.
I'm the one,
'Cause I'm still here.
I'm still here.
I'm still here.
I'm still here.
Not an answer to be heard.
All a moment that's held in your arms.
And what do you think you'd ever say?
I don't listen anyway:
You ignore me,
And I'll never be what you want me to be.
I'm a boy, not a man.
You can take me and throw me away.
And how can you learn what's never shown?
Yeah, you stand here all alone.
They don't know me 'cause I'm not here.
Wanna touch things I don't feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
And how can the world want me to change,
They're the ones that stay the same.
The don't know me,
'Cause I'm not here.
All you wanted, I could be
Now you know me, and I'm not afraid
And I wanna tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man?
They can break me
As long as I know who I am
Wanna touch things I don't feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
And how can the world want me to change,
They're the ones that stay the same.
They can't see me,
But I'm still here.
'Cause I'm not what they see.
And the world is still sleepin',
While I keep on dreamin' for me.
And they'll want to just whispers,
And lies that I'll never believe.
Wanna touch things I don't feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
And how can the world want me to change,
They're the ones that stay the same.
I'm the one now,
'Cause I'm still here.
'Cause I'm still here.
I'm still here.
I'm still here.
I'm still here.

i think your lyrics are just alittle off. im not sure. i think it goes "im a boy, no im a man" ......... and later in the song i think it goes "there words are just whispers and lies that ill never believe." either way, killer song. pretty catchy and good lyrics. typical rzeznik shit.
I agree with pool_shark930 on the lyrics. Great song, I found myself kind of feeling the words with certain situations around me.
Johnny Rzeznik is an awesome artist. And the name Rzeznik just kicks ass too. I don't get why he recorded this under his name, because it sounds exactly like a Goo Goo Dolls song(which means very good). But whatever, its quite amazing. As for the meaning, im just assuming its about being who you are and living your life that way. Not doing what everyone else wants you to do. Just thought I should add that this song is from the movie "Treasure Planet".
i really relate to this song at the mo, i'm always being told by everyone to be something i'm not n this song pretty much sums up my feelings. great song, but then u wouldn't expect anything less from johnny rzeznik.
If I'm ever down, this song can pick me up again. To me it's about finding yourself, becoming an individual, staying true to your beliefs and values while everyone else's are changing around you.
I can listen to this song over and over again, and not get tired of it. I burned it onto a CD, and listen to it a few times everyday, when I am just sitting around in my room, writing and thinking. I think that Johnny Rzenik is talking about how you should be who you are, and not listen to the world around you, not let them change you. I can definetly relate to this song.
this is my anthem. it fits so well. its nice.
Johnny Rzeznik is so hot!! He's such a great artist, so original, so pretty :). I think I'm in love....
This song is basically my "Life song" I love it and ever since I heard it I was amazed. Anyways, I think this song is about finding who you are and all the obstacles that you face. It is one of the best songs of all time.
I love this song... I agree with everyone on the meaning... It's very relateable. I love the line "And how can the world want me to change | They're the ones that stay the same"... I think it's a great part of the song.
