I'll Be There
Emin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Making our only across the border
And I never knew that I turned around
You wouldn't be here, over my shoulder.
I can't believe it's come to this,
If you ever lonely, and you can't pretend
I'll be there.
To wipe the tears
Cause you need a friend
I'll be there, I'll be near.
Words, it's so hard to find it
Finding the right ones
To try and say this
When hearts, hearts are breaking
Come let's fade in
From the canvas.
Is it really come to this?
If you ever lonely, and you can't pretend
I'll be there.
To wipe the tears
And if you ever call me,
'Cause you need a friend,
I'll be there, I'll be near.
If the wind blows against you,
Keeps you down.
If the words that were inside you
Can't be found.
If I'd told you that I missed you
Would it be hurt?
Or is it too late now?
And if you ever call me,
'Cause you need a friend,
I'll be there, I'll be near.
If you ever lonely, and you can't pretend
I'll be there.
To wipe the tears
And if you ever call me,
'Cause you need a friend,
I'll be there, I'll be near.
The song "I'll be there" by Emin speaks about being there and supporting someone even in the darkest of times.

However, he promises to be there for the one he left behind, even at their lowest point. The chorus of the song repeats the words "I'll be there," which manifests the willingness of the artist to take care of the other person.
In the second verse, Emin talks about how difficult it is to find the right words to say in moments of heartbreak, but he tries to articulate a message of hope for the other person to keep fighting. He assures the person that he will be a friend in times of need, ready to wipe away their tears and offer them the support they need.
The song's bridge speaks about the possibility of reconciliation, despite the difficult circumstances. The artist asks whether expressing love and missing someone is worth it, even if it may cause pain.
Overall, "I'll be there" is an uplifting song about being there for someone, even when it's hard to do so. It touches on the theme of companionship and the importance of caring for one another.

I never thought we'd be making
I didn't expect us to make it this far together
Making our only across the border
Crossing borders and overcoming obstacles together
And I never knew that I turned around
I didn't realize you weren't there until I looked back
You wouldn't be here, over my shoulder.
You've been there for me all along and I appreciate you
I can't believe it's come to this,
I can't believe we've reached a point where we need each other more than ever
If you ever lonely, and you can't pretend
If you're ever struggling and can't fake that you're okay
I'll be there.
I'll be there to support you no matter what
To wipe the tears
I'll comfort you and help you through your pain
And if you ever call me
If you need me, just reach out
Cause you need a friend
Because everyone needs a friend sometimes
Words, it's so hard to find it
It's difficult to express how much you mean to me
Finding the right ones
But I'll search for the right words to let you know
To try and say this
How much you mean to me
When hearts, hearts are breaking
In difficult times when we're both hurting
Come let's fade in
Let's come together and support each other
From the canvas.
From the backdrop of our lives
Is it really come to this?
Has it really gotten to the point where we need each other so much?
If the wind blows against you,
If life gets tough
Keeps you down.
If you're feeling defeated
If the words that were inside you
If you can't find the words to express how you feel
Can't be found.
If you're struggling to communicate
If I'd told you that I missed you
If I'd expressed how much you mean to me
Would it be hurt?
Would it make a difference now or would it be too late?
Or is it too late now?
Are we too far gone or can we still make things right?
And if you ever call me,
And if you ever need me,
'Cause you need a friend,
Because everyone needs a friend sometimes,
I'll be there, I'll be near.
I'll always be there to support you.
If you ever lonely, and you can't pretend
If you're ever feeling alone and can't fake it
I'll be there.
I'll be there to support you and help you through your pain
To wipe the tears
I'll comfort you and help you through your pain
And if you ever call me,
And if you ever need me,
'Cause you need a friend,
Because everyone needs a friend sometimes,
I'll be there, I'll be near.
I'll always be there to support you.
