AVRIL LAVIGNE - I'M WITH YOU
I'm Standing On A Bridge
I'm Waiting In The Dark
I Thought That You'd Be Here By Now
There's Nothing But The Rain
No Footsteps On The Ground
I'm Listening But There's No Sound
Isn't Anyone Trying To Find Me?
Won't Somebody Come Take Me Home?
It's A Damn Cold Night
Trying To Figure Out This Life
Won't You Take Me By The Hand
Take Me Somewhere New
I Don't Know Who You Are
But I... I'm With You
I'm With You
I'm Looking For A Place
I'm Searching For A Face
Is Anybody Here I Know
'Cause Nothing's Going Right
And Everything's A Mess
And No One Likes To Be Alone
Isn't Anyone Trying To Find Me?
Won't Somebody Come Take Me Home?
It's A Damn Cold Night
Trying To Figure Out This Life
Won't You Take Me By The Hand
Take Me Somewhere New
I Don't Know Who You Are
But I... I'm With You
I'm With You
Oh Why Is Everything So Confusing
Maybe I'm Just Out Of My Mind
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah!
It's A Damn Cold Night
Trying To Figure Out This Life
Won't You Take Me By The Hand
Take Me Somewhere New
I Don't Know Who You Are
But I... I'm With You
I'm With You
Take Me By The Hand
Take Me Somewhere New
I Don't Know Who You Are
But I... I'm With You
I'm With You
Take Me By The Hand
Take Me Somewhere New
I Don't Know Who You Are
But I... I'm With You
I'm With You
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Avril Lavigne, Lauren Christy, Scott Spock, Graham Edwards
Producer(s): The Matrix
When You're All Alone, By Yourself, You Can Feel Horrible. Avril Knows This Feeling And In The Song, She Tells You How She Felt When She Went Through It. You Feel Like You're So Lonely And Scared, Trying To Find Yourself And Figure Everything Out, But You Just Can't. You Wish Someone Would Help You, But No One Does, Until One Person Picks You Up And Helps You From Up From The Floor.
Another Interpretation: A Girl Grows Up And Becomes A Prostitute. She Hates Her Life But Can't Get Out Of It. The Chorus Is: "It's A Damn Cold Night Trying To Figure Out This Life Won't You Take Me By The Hand Take Me Somewhere New I Don't Know Who You Are But I, I'm With You I'm With You..." This Could Be About Being With A John And Having Sex With Him.
This Was The Third Single From Avril Lavigne's Debut Album, Let Go, Released When She Was 17. Like The First Two Singles, "Complicated" And "Sk8er Boi," It Was Written By Lavigne With The Los Angeles-Based Songwriting Team The Matrix: Lauren Christy, Graham Edwards And Scott Spock.
The Video Was Directed By David Lachapelle, Who Worked On Christina Aguilera's "Dirrty" Video.
Rihanna Sampled The "Yeah, Yeah" Vocals In This Song For Her 2010 Hit Cheers (Drink To That).

And I Think Rihanna's Awesome, She Has Great Songs, She's A Really Great Singer, So Yeah I Was Excited. I Think It's Really Cool."
