I can't count the reasons I should stay...one by one they all just fade away!

— The 88

"At Least It Was Here" is the main theme song to Community recorded by the indie rock band The 88. It has been used in the opening title sequence since the Season One episode Spanish 101. The title has the song playing as the credits for the actors appear on a rotating paper fortune teller. In several episodes the song and the paper fortune teller have been changed to fit the theme of a particular episode such as in the Season Two episode "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons". In the Season Three episode "Introduction to Finality" a longer version of the song was used in a closing montage. The complete extended version of the song appears on the official Community soundtrack which was released on September 21, 2010. The abbreviated version is track 1 and the extended version is track 18.

Lyrics: Give me some more Time in a dream Give me the hope To run out of steam Somebody said It could be here We could be roped up, tied up, dead in a year I can't count the reasons I should stay One by one they all just fade away

The 88 - At Least It Was Here (Full song, high quality)

Lyrics: Give me your hands Show me the door I cannot stand To wait any more Somebody said Be what you'll be We could be old and cold and dead on the sea But I love you more than words can say I can't count the reasons I should stay Give me some rope Tie me to dream Give me the hope to run out of steam Somebody said it can be here We could be roped up, tied up, dead in a year I can't count the reasons I should stay One by one they all just fade away I'm tired of the wait and sees I'm tired of that part of me That makes up a perfect lie To keep us between But hours turn into days So watch what you throw away And be here to recognize There's another way Give me some rope Tie me to dream Give me the hope to run out of steam Somebody said it can be here We could be roped up, tied up, dead in a year But I love you more than words can say I can't count the reasons I should stay One by one they all just fade away Oh I love you more than words can say
