While I’m Still Here Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Only thing I've ever done
(Ticking time is running out)
Closest I have ever come
(Ticking time is running out)
Oh, so tired on my own
(Ticking time is running out)
Best days I have ever known
(Ticking time is running out)

[Pre-Chorus]
Yesterday I found out the world was ending
Yesterday I found out the world was ending

[Chorus]
A little more
Every day
Falls apart and
Slips away
I don't mind
I'm okay
Wish it didn't have to end this way

[Verse 2]
These four walls are closing in
(Ticking time is running out)
Oh, all the things that might have been
(Ticking time is running out)
Watch young lovers walking by
(Ticking time is running out)
God forgive me if I cry
(Ticking time is running out)
[Chorus]
A little more
Every day
Falls apart and
Slips away
I don't mind
I'm okay
Nothing ever
Stays the same
While we can
Remember when
Always were, yeah
Even then
Stay with me
Hold me near
While I'm still here

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

A simplistic track, it is dominated by its quirky beat and staccato plucked string instruments. A busy bassline joins the ascending vocals in the verses, while the nearly spoken choruses are backed by a droning synth. After the second chorus, a sort of coda or bridge featuring a more complicated bassline and staccato baritone saxophone leads directly into “Black Noise”. Its call-and-response style verses recall those of “Mr. Self Destruct”.

The title is sometimes referred to by its acronym WISH, though this may be confused with “Wish”.
