Still Around Lyrics
I can't count how many days you weren't here.
The walls were closing in on me,
But I don't live in there no more.
There's a place in my head
That repeats what you said,
That repeats what you said that day.
You're afraid the mistakes that you made
Dug your grave but baby,
That's the price you pay.
So don't shut down
This town, ain't big enough for both of us, whoa.
And now I've found
You'll never get enough from me,
So, baby, I'm a set you free,
Yeah I'm a set you free.
[Chorus:]
Who-ooh-ooh-ooh are you anyways?
I can't count how many days you weren't here.
The walls were closing in on me,
But I don't live in there no more.
Who-ooh-ooh-ooh are you anyways?
I can't count how many days you weren't here.
The walls were closing in on me (closing in),
But I don't live in there no more.
I been trying to relate to
All the things that make you
Act the crazy ways you do (you do)
But that will take patience and headaches
To make sense
Some the things you put me through
So don't shut down
This town, ain't big enough for both of us, whoa
And now I've found
You'll never get enough from me
So, baby, I'm a set you free,
Yeah, I'm a set you free
[Chorus:]
Who-ooh-ooh-ooh are you anyways?
I can't count how many days you weren't here.
The walls were closing in on me,
But I don't live in there no more.
Who-ooh-ooh-ooh are you anyways?
I can't count how many days you weren't here.
The walls were closing in on me (closing in)
But I don't live in there no more (no more)
[Bridge: x2]
All the pictures and the windows on the wall
Are closing in on me
I thought that you're suppose to learn from
What went wrong in history.
So you keep doing everything you can
And never will get to me.
I bet you remember the day you were better
As soon as we severed
And you were free
[Chorus:]
Who-ooh-ooh-ooh are you anyways?
I can't count how many days you weren't here.
The walls were closing in on me (closing in)
But I don't live in there no more (no more)
Who-ooh-ooh-ooh are you anyways?
I can't count how many days you weren't here.
The walls were closing in on me (closing in)
But I don't live in there no more (no more)
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa [x4]
You're all stupid. The Mixed Tape sounds nothing like Still Around. Still Around is a great song.
definitely agree with this. i listened to the mixed tape and was like wtf. what does this have anything to do with still around?? lol

I definately do not see the connection...I like both songs! And if it really is insulting another band that has been around for awhile, then my respect level for them is low :/

thank you! i've been trying to figure out the connection too, and felt stupid because everyons like "oh is obvi making fun of JM." um... no.

To me, it has to do with the person wanting to be with his significant other as much as he can, while she's still around. Woo, 3oh!3, this song really is beautiful
And I'm pretty sure it's "WHILE she's still around..."
I agree with ELELELIEN. i think it's while not when, and i thought this song was serious): until i looked at the comments about jack's mannequin and then it made sense.... ahaha, wow i'm dumb. i thoughht this song sounded familiar but i wasn't fer sure.
anyone else note the allusion to daniel johnston? deviltown
um yeah how is this making fun of jacks mannequin? the mixed tape sounds nothing like it. either way, i love this song because it reminds me of the guy i love, who's a senior graduating this june. so yeah, i'll only be happy "WHILE" he's still around :)
theres 2 things this song could mean
-
hes an alcoholic and his gf is leaving him and hes tryin to explain that he loves her and wants to be able to be sober while shes still around so he can see her clearly. and that there are demons in this world that some may never understand until they "close the final curtain".
-
his gf died. and yet its like theres a ghost of her with him. he wants to be able to see her one more time while she was still around. it devasted everyone "im drunk and so is everyone else in this devil town". and because of this he wont stop drinking because he learned life is too uncertain and scary for him. everyone around him is gone "this city's just cemetaries and forgotten".
idk just a guess..lol i tried
why doesn't 3OH!3 have more songs like this fbgnjfgnbcxvjk. this is fucking amazing. it's so pretty and awesome. they're wasting time talking about bitches with the huge tits when they could be sooooooo famous by making more songs like this.
i like. (:
This reminds me of someone in my life who I can't be with in a "real" relationship with. We see each other all over the place, and are friends. The attraction is so strong; we share an uncanny-strong bond that just lights up a room whenever our eyes lock. The sadness spawns from the fact that we can't be together, which leads us to drink and act up in front of each other, and everyone else; Making us look like assholes in front of our friends, who really don't want us together.
I agree, I listened to The Mix Tape, they sound nothing alike, chorus SLIGHTLY, but there are PLENTY of songs I can think of that sound slightly, and I mean SLIGHTLY, the same. Great song, one of their best I'd say. ^.^
Whoever said it sounds like the mixed tape is retarded...its sounds exactly like "kill the messenger" by jacks mannequin.....COME ON PEOPLE
