Lyrics
So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Life is not as expected or easy.
Your job's a joke, you're broke
Your job is not fulfilling, and you're financially struggling.
Your love life's DOA
Your romantic life is in a bad state (DOA means dead on arrival).
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
Feeling stuck or not progressing in life.
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month
Experiencing a series of bad days, weeks, months, or even a year.
Or even your year, but
Despite the challenges,
I'll be there for you
Assurance of support from a friend.
(When the rain starts to pour)
Commitment to be there during tough times.
I'll be there for you
Expressing familiarity with difficult situations.
(Like I've been there before)
Reiteration of the commitment to support.
I'll be there for you
Affirming the ongoing presence and support.
('Cause you're there for me too)
Highlighting the mutual support in the relationship.
You're still in bed at ten
Reference to oversleeping and a slow start to the day.
And work began at eight
Workday has already begun, and there's a sense of lateness.
You've burned your breakfast
A small setback in the morning routine.
So far, things are going great
Sarcasm implying things are going well despite setbacks.
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
Mother's warning about challenging days coming true.
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought
Life bringing challenges unexpectedly.
You down to your knees that
Facing difficult moments that bring you to your knees.
I'll be there for you
Reiteration of the commitment to support during tough times.
(When the rain starts to pour)
Reassurance during metaphorical rainy days.
I'll be there for you
Expressing empathy based on shared experiences.
(Like I've been there before)
Reaffirming the commitment in times of difficulty.
I'll be there for you
Highlighting the reciprocity of support in the relationship.
('Cause you're there for me too)
Emphasizing the continued presence and assistance.
Oh you’re there for me too
Acknowledging the mutual support in the relationship.
