I know that I've been messed up You never let me give up All the nights and the fights And the blood and the breakups You always had to call off I am pain, I'm a child, I'm afraid Yet you understand Yeah like no one can Know that we don't look like much But no one fucks it up like us Sixteen and you never even judged me Matter of fact I always thought you were too cool for me Sitting there in the caravan All the nights we've been drunk on the floor Yet you understand Yeah like no one can We both know what they say about us But they don't stand a chance because When I'm with you When I'm with you I'm standing with an army I'm standing with an army When I'm with you When I'm with you I'm standing with an army Standing with an army Dark times, you could always find the bright side I'm amazed by the things that you would sacrifice Just to be there for me How you cringe when you sing out of tune Yet it's everything So don't change a thing We both know what they say about us But they don't stand a chance because When I'm with you When I'm with you I'm standing with an army I'm standing with an army When I'm with you When I'm with you I'm standing with an army Standing with an army Standing with an army Standing with an army Standing with an army Standing with an army (ooh I'll be yours) Standing with an army Standing with an army I'm standing with an army Yet you understand Yeah like no one can We both know what they say about us When I'm with you (when I'm with you) When I'm with you (when I'm with you) I'm standing with an army I'm standing with an army When I'm with you (when I'm with you) When I'm with you (when I'm with you) I'm standing with an army They don't have a chance either Standing with an army Standing with an army Standing with an army Standing with an army Standing with an army Standing with an army Standing near you Standing with an army Standing with an army Standing with an army Standing with an army Standing with an army Standing with an army When I'm with you Standing with an army
