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
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
Oh when it hasn't been your day
Your week, your month, or even your year
[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, too)
You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight
You've burned 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 the world has brought you down to your knees
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
[Chorus]
No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Seems 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 rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst I'm best with you
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
Oh when it hasn't been your day
Your week, your month, or even your year
[Chorus]
Your job's a joke, you're broke
Your love life's D-O-A
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
Oh when it hasn't been your day
Your week, your month, or even your year
[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, too)
You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight
You've burned 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 the world has brought you down to your knees
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
[Chorus]
No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Seems 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 rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst I'm best with you
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
Oh when it hasn't been your day
Your week, your month, or even your year
[Chorus]

This songs means a lot to me. I stick with my kind, found a friend who's like me, and will surround me with the light that I need and deserve. I'm not gonna take the non-sense and let my friend be hurt or used, It's like me singing to my friend: I'll be there for you..... because I will even to death!
of course it means something. just because it`s a 'feelgood' song , it doesn`t mean it means nothing.
gosh. it`s a feel good song about friendship. nuff said.
'no one told you life was gonna be this way.'
and yet...
'your mother warned you there'd be days like this.'
haha. watch the video if you're confused. look up 'friends theme/sugar ray' on youtube.
great theme for friends, but it would have been better if left at that.
but i love friends. =]
