"I'll Be Here Awhile" is a single by alternative rock band 311.

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 directly from "The Lust, The Flesh, The Eyes, and the Pride of Life" a song by the Christian alternative rock group The 77s which had appeared on their 1987 self-titled album.

"I'll Be Here Awhile" reached number 15 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart in 2001.
