I'll Be There
Toby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It’s been a while since I last saw you
But soon I’ll be looking into your eyes
Just tell me when you want me to call you
But remember I gotta be up around five
The countless hours that we’ve spent
Talking about the life that we’re in
You say it’s different from the rest
Cause what we have is special
And that’s one of the few things I’ll admit
The voicemails that you send me They get me through the day
And I don’t know what I would do without you
You know you make me happy
When I can hear you say
As long as I’ve got you by my side
I’ll be okay
It’s been a while since I last saw you
But your beauty never escapes my mind
I’m reminded every single time I call you
And from me to you is not that long of a drive
Yeah
The voicemails that you send me They get me through the day
And I don’t know what I would do without you
You know you make me happy
When I can hear you say
As long as I’ve got you by my side
I’ll be okay
I’ll be okay
I don’t know that I can last another minute
If I don’t have you in my arms
We promised that we can beat the distance
But there’s no distance that can keep us apart
The voicemails that you send me They get me through the day
And I don’t know what I would do without you
You know you make me happy
When I can hear you say




As long as I’ve got you by my side
I’ll be okay

Toby’s patience with Michael throughout the series is an art.

Crediblesea 007 I’m not sure what kind of space you work in but I can attest to the one office person everyone hates like Micheal 😝.

Lord fartamor

Crediblesea 007 I think he was referencing the popular theory that toby is the the scranton strangler, but I could be wrong

Patrick Gracias

Ethr Sag Michael and Dwight are the only people that hate Toby though.

After all

Two unexplainable things in Office:
1. Michael's blind love for Ryan.
2. Michael's blind hatred for Toby.

He just hates Toby because hes HR and it seems like tradition for the boss to hate the HR guy

Cancer

@LL Armstrong Also he's corporate which I believe reminds Michael that he isn't the end all and be all at the office.

Careful Icarus does Mr. Dorito Maniac get it?
