311 - I'll Be Here A While Lyrics






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

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

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

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

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

  33. B.... G....

    Lost my best friend to heroine and I remember him playing acoustic to this song before he passed:,( miss u so much bro. I wish u coulda been here longer

  34. L.... Z....

    this was a remind video, how, some illegal building might take place.  by beach, downtown, HIlton is for ) as with IB one.  Contact Catalan, or Greece for any proof -D'Anginou Marcianou did these.  7 food groups Low

  35. S.... M....

    That bad brains reference tho!!👌👌

  36. B.... S....

    Its like a tripped out dream when u can sing and feel bad ass then wake up n it was all a dream.

  37. E.... 3....

    I used to bump this in College. Now in '18 I'm singing my daughter to sleep with it. Time is precious.

    E.... 3....

    Man how true that is. And it is basically the message in the song!

    E.... 3....

    Same!! <3

  38. G.... ....

    Now those are special effects and animations to die for, not that modern hollywood crap that kids use and watch these days. Talk about uncultured youth smh (Great song by the way :D)

  39. C.... W....

    All the comments talkin bout SoCal, these guys are from Omaha NE

    C.... W....

    Chelsie Weaver
    We adopted them. People take up other people's shit all the time. That's nothing new.

    C.... W....

    Yes, but nobody lives in Nebraska and nothing happens there.

    C.... W....

    No one stays in Nebraska for a while, this song is a SoCal song

    C.... W....

    Because I don’t think Nebraska digs this vibe like cali

  40. u.... ....

    I've nearly worn this CD out as of late. Revisiting a classic is a good thing.

  41. P.... O....

    Didn't they release this on 9/11? Am I right?
    Deeper meaning if they did like "fuck who ever did this shit, I'll be here a while reguardless, your not bringing me down the same as the towers".

  42. M.... 6....

    Forgotten but have re-found this gem
    Geez how’d I misplace this one 🤨😳🤭😝😊✌🏼😉☝🏼

    M.... 6....

    Never forget this song!!!🙏

    This is back in the day when music videos were all set to a green screen.

  52. C.... K....

    Week 2 and 17

  53. E.... B....

    Who picked up the keys? The keys were picked up and then pnut tapped on nick, then pnut asked for the keys from nick? But if nick picked the keys up, why is pnut tapping him like it’s time to go? Was pnut meant to take the keys? Is anything real?

    E.... B....

    Don't think too much about it. This band sucks

  82. J.... L....

    This is a really good song! Wish I had heard it sooner.

  83. F.... O....

    This song's definitely a summer track

  84. C.... B....

    When i go to the bathroom after some burrito

    Carlos Behrens heck yaaaa!!!

  89. X.... W....

    Is it on Spotify

  90. P.... ....

    I liked the old version of the video you guys had uploaded. The thumbnail was hilarious

  91. J.... D....

    311 has been here awhile. and still keeps giving me goosebumos.
    I´ve been evolving to them for long now. I do not expect the same Music/Grassroot/Blue.. album
    MOSAIC is awesome

  92. C.... B....

    I still blaze to this. My little brother and I used to drive to the most beautiful mountain's in Arizona, puff and just look at the beauty and play Sublime and 311. I'm 34 now, so we don't hangout as much; I still blaze to this by myself, though.

    C.... B....

    @Charlie I was raised in Globe/Miami, AZ.

    C.... B....

    I live it man but honestly I'm trying to get away to California or Washington or Colorado. I need something new.

    C.... B....

    @Charlie I lived in La Puente/ L.A. for a year and passed through Colorado a couple of times. Washington is risky, being coastal w/San Andreas Fault close-by; I'd say Colorado is ideal. Plus, I have a lot of family in Colorado, from Big Spring, TX.

    C.... B....

    Exactly why I'm still here man. But when I see movies or videos of Cali, man....

    C.... B....

    35 year old doomer blazin while listening right now

  93. s.... ....

    One of my favorite 311 songs, but the video is...not sure what it is. Doesn't fit the song to me. I saw 311 live in Seattle a while back and they did not play this song. I was bummed.

    s.... ....

    slobert1970 you gotta look deeper. the video is spot on

    s.... ....

    Fair enough.

  94. m.... ....

    Great song, this video is horrible though.

  95. J.... E....

    Reminds me of Sublime

    J.... E....

    Jason E. Sublime kind of introduced me to 311

    J.... E....

    That west coast vibe
