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
