I think he says 'It feels like the first time, and we're standing above them', instead of 'It feels like the first time, and we're standing about them.' If this is so, then it somewhat could change the meaning of the song, in that the person feels as if they've hit bottom, and there's nothing anyone can do to harm them now, hence the "and no one can touch us" line. I may be completely wrong, but that's just what I think.
