I'm standing on a bridge 
I'm waitin' 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 tryin' 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 looking for a place 
I'm searching for a face 
Is anybody here I know 
Cause nothings going right 
And everything's a mess 
And no one likes to be alone 

Isn't anyone tryin' 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 

Oh why is everything so confusing 
Maybe I'm just out of my mind 
Yea yea yea 

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 

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
I'm with you
