So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's DOA
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month
Or even your year, but

I'll be there for you
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, though work begins at eight
You burned your breakfast, so far things are going great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you
When the world was brought down to your knees
That

I'll be there for you
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. No one could ever see me
Seems your the only one who knows what it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with
Make it through all the mess 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
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month
Or even your year, but

I'll be there for you
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
