I'll Be Here Awhile
"I'll Be Here Awhile" is a radio-only single by 311. It is the 12th and closing track on their album From Chaos. Lead singer Nick Hexum originally wrote it when he was twenty, hence the line in the refrain "Twenty years of age, " though Hexum was thirty when he recorded it. He comments on the interview included on the disc of From Chaos that he was living a wild and crazy life at that young age.
The lyrics "And if a person, place, or thing can deliver/ I will quiver with delight" are taken from the song "The Lust, The Flesh, The Eyes, and the Pride of Life" by The 77s on their 1987 self-titled album.
"I'll Be Here Awhile" made it to position 15 on the Modern Rock Tracks in 2001.

I'll Be Here Awhile
by: 311I'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, (whoa whoa)
uncertain game of chance, (whoa whoa)
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 would quiver with delight.
Tempted by the hand that could blind my vision and sight.
But at twenty years of age, (whoa whoa)
in frolic and in rage, (whoa whoa)
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, is going to be alright.
But at thirty years of age, (whoa whoa)
through frolic and in rage, (whoa whoa)
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.
