I'll Be There for You
Navigating Life's Ups and Downs: A Song of Support and FriendshipLyrics
So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Life isn't as expected or easy as you were told
Your job's a joke, you're broke
Your job isn't fulfilling, and you lack money
Your love life's DOA
Your romantic life is in a bad state (Dead On Arrival)
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
Feeling stuck or not progressing
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month
Experiencing a series of ongoing difficulties
Or even your year, but
Challenging times have persisted for a while
I'll be there for you
Pledge of support and companionship in tough times
(When the rain starts to pour)
-I'll be there for you
-(Like I've been there before)
-I'll be there for you
-('Cause you're there for me too)
-You're still in bed at ten
Struggling to start the day early
And work began at eight
Workday started poorly
You've burned your breakfast
Having a bad start, perhaps making mistakes
So far, things are going great
Sarcastically commenting on a tough situation
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
Expectation of tough days, but not the timing
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought
Feeling overwhelmed and brought down unexpectedly
You down to your knees that
-I'll be there for you
Reiteration of support and reciprocity in the relationship
(When the rain starts to pour)
-I'll be there for you
-(Like I've been there before)
-I'll be there for you
-('Cause you're there for me too)
-No one could ever know me
Feeling misunderstood, except by a specific person
No one could ever see me
-Seems you're the only one who knows
-What it's like to be me
-Someone to face the day with
Describing a deep connection and support through difficulties
Make it through all the rest with
-Someone I'll always laugh with
-Even at my worst, I'm best with you, yeah
-It's like you're always stuck in second gear
Reiteration of feeling stuck or stagnant
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month
-Or even your year
-I'll be there for you
Continued promise of support and mutual reliance
(When the rain starts to pour)
-I'll be there for you
-(Like I've been there before)
-I'll be there for you
-('Cause you're there for me too)
-I'll be there for you
Reiteration of commitment and mutual support
I'll be there for you
-I'll be there for you
-('Cause you're there for me too)
