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

chorus
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 to

you're still in bed at ten and work began at eight
you burnt 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
or where,
you'd be brought down to your knees
and

chorus

no one could ever know me
no one could ever see me
seems you're the only one who knows
what its like to be me
someone to face the day with
make it through all the rest with
someone I'll always be with
even in my worst or best its you yeah

its like your always stuck in second gear
and when it hasn't been your day your week your month or even your year

chorus
