I am a question to the world
Not an answer to be heard
Or a moment that's held in your arms
And what do you think you'd ever say?
I won't listen anyway
You don't know me
And I'll never be what you want me to be
And what do you think you'd understand?
I'm a boy, no, I'm a man
You can't take me and throw me away
And how can you learn what's never shown?
Yeah, you stand here on your own
They don't know me
Cause I'm not here
Chorus:
And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can the world want me to change?
They're the ones that stay the same
They don't know me
Cause I'm not here [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/goo_goo_dolls/im_still_here.html ]
And you see the things they never see
All you wanted I could be
Now you know me and I'm not afraid
And I want to tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man?
They can't break me
As long as I know who I am
Chorus:
And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can the world want me to change?
They're the ones that stay the same
They can't see me
But I'm still here
They can't tell me who to be
Cause I'm not what they see
Yeah, the world is still sleepin'
While I keep on dreamin' for me
And their words are just whispers and lies
That I'll never believe
Chorus:
And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can they say i'll never change?
They're the ones that stay the same
I'm the one now
'Cause I'm still here
I'm the one now
Cause I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here
In my own understand from this song.. It is about a man who's still trying to find himself... He still don't know himself well.. Who really he is.. And all he like is to know the reality of life to know the real world he belong but even though he is getting hard of it.. He still trying.. He don't give up.. As long as he is still here... :))
I think this song is about a kid who's being stepped on by the world, he's having a hard time but he doesn;t give up, and in the end it all works in his favour... I love this song with a passion.
