While I'm Still Here
This is the original album version. 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."
Lyrics
Only thing I've ever done Ticking time is running out Closes I have ever come Ticking time is running out Oh so tired on my own Ticking time is running out Best day I have ever known Ticking time is running out Yesterday, I found out the world was ending A little more Ever day Falls apart Slips away Well I don't mind I'm okay Wish it didn't have to end this way 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 A little more Ever day Falls apart Slips away I don't mind I'm okay Nothing ever Stays the same While we can Remember when We always were Yes, even then Stay with me Hold me near While I'm still here
