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.
