So no one told your life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's DOA
Seems like we're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week
Your month, or even your year
I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to fall
I'll be there for you
'Cause 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, your work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast so far, things ain't going great
Your mother told you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world had brought
You down to your knees
But I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to fall
I'll be there for you
'Cause 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 you're the only one who knows
What it's like to be me
Someone to spend the day with
Make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst, I'm best with you, oh
Seems like we're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week
Your month, or even your year
I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to fall
I'll be there for you
'Cause I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cause you're there for me too
I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to fall
I'll be there for you
'Cause I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cause you're there for me too
