I'll Be There For You
Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your jobs a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
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
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
And work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast
So far
Things are goin' great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought
You down to your knees and
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
Since you're 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
I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to fall
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
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
'Cause you're there for me too
The Friends theme song, “I’ll Be There For You,” is a powerful and motivational song that speaks about being there for one another no matter what. It particularly talks about how things can be rough and challenging, and how life may not always turn out the way you planned it. The opening lines “So no one told you life was gonna be this way, your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A,” perfectly sums up the challenges and difficulties that one can face in everyday life. Despite this, however, the song acknowledges that having someone to lean on during tough times can make all the difference in the world.
Further on, the song talks about how sometimes people may feel like they are stuck and they can’t seem to get out of whatever slump they are in. It then reassures the listener that they don't have to face life's hardships alone. The line "It's like you're always stuck in second gear" speaks directly to that feeling of being stuck, and it highlights the importance of having someone there to help you out of that rut.
In conclusion, the song “I’ll Be There For You” is a song about friendship and the incredible importance of being there for one another when times are tough. It is an uplifting song that encourages listeners to hold on and never give up, even during the most challenging of times.
