I'll Be Here a While Lyrics

Chorus:
I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
I'll be here a while

Far is solace in the maddening pace
sad state written on my face
not a tight rope walk but dance
uncertain game of chance
but I'll see it through in time

(Chorus)

And if a person place or thing can deliver
I will quiver with delight
tempted by the hand that could
blind my vision and sight
but at twenty years of age
in frolic and in rage
I will see it through in time

(Chorus)

But the dawn has come into the endless night
and everything's going to be alright
but at thirty years of age
through frolic and in rage
all regressed and healed in time

I'll be here a while, ain't going nowhere
Said I, said I, said I, I will survive

It's about growing up, not giving up, and remembering that everything will get better as you get older and learn more about yourself and other people and things. At times you may feel so confused and frustrated that you don't know what to do with yourself, but if you just remember to stick it out and if you don't give into temptation, it'll get better...and in the end it may be so much better than it may have ever seemed.

This song means everything to me...to me, its about dealing with hard times that you will inevitably face in your life but knowing that things will turn out good in the end. I cried like a baby when they played this in Cleveland back in 2001...Whenever I am going through a hard time, I listen to this song and I see that I will get through the hard times and I will be stronger and a better person for it. I thank 311 for making this music that has the capacity to evoke that feeling and positive thinking in me. aLLie

This song makes me think of being in your paradise, whatever it may be, and just chilling. Revelling in the fact that you know your gonna be there a long ass time.
