"I'll Be There" lyrics

You called me when our favourite song was playing
From a sold-out concert hall oceans away
Through a small screen
Couldn't make out what you were saying
It was worth it though to get to see your face

Back then, I was in the trenches
How was I to know
How defeated and defenceless
You'd be by October
Make no mistake: I'll carry the weight
Any heavy load I'll take
If your heart's gonna break
Everything else can wait

Just call on me
Just call on me
Whenever you need
So it's plain to see
Just how much I care
Nothing I won't bare
'Cause your grief is mine
'Til the end of the line, I'll be there
Yeah, yeah

You know me better than anyone could try to
The older that we get, the closer we are
So it only makes sense I'm the one you'll cry to
In your childhood room, I wrapped you up in my arms

And lay with you 'til we were laughing
I know how bad it hurts
Let this formative pain pass
Besides, we've been through so much worse
Make no mistake: I'll carry the weight
Any heavy load I'll take
If your heart's gonna break
Let me get one thing straight

Just call on me
Just call on me
Whenever you need
So it's plain to see
Just how much I care
Nothing I won't bare
'Cause your grief is mine
'Til the end of the line, I'll be there
Yeah, yeah

I'll be there by the piano
I'll be there by the sea
I'll be there driving to you
When I'm in my home town for the week
Meet you along the creek trail
When in London, on the Heath
At the market
Through the darkness
Where you are is where I'm gonna be
Just call on me

Please just call on me
Whenever you need
So it's plain to see
Just how much I care
Nothing I won't bare
When your love is mine
'Til the end of the line, I'll be there
Yeah, yeah
