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.
