I found god
On the corner of first and Amistad
Where the west was all but won
All alone, smoking his last cigarette
I Said where you been, he said ask anything
Where were you?
When everything was falling apart
All my days were spent by the telephone
It never rang
And all I needed was a call
That never came
To the corner of first and Amistad
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Whyd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me
In the end everyone ends up alone
Losing her, the only one whos ever known
Who I am, who Im not, who I want to be
No way to know how long she will be next to me [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/the_fray/you_found_me.html ]
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Whyd you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me
Early morning, City breaks
Ive been calling for years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never send me no letters
You got some kind of nerve, taking all I want
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Where were you where were you?
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Whyd you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me
why'd you have to wait
to find me, to find me

I think the song is a story about a guy who just lost his girl friend, who was everything to him. Then someone talks to him about god or he discovers god, and he's asking god why it took him so long to find him. Why did he have to wait until he lost everything?
I feel he was found, not in the time he would have chose to help avoid the pain, but in time none the less, as it is the life experience endured that was able to express the music.
The lyrics, "lost and insecure you found me, you found me, lying on the floor" show that the character was not dead but in dire straights (lost and insecure) thank goodness the character was found, it would have been a shame if they died over something in life that is so temporary.
I have some perspective on this as an old band mates girl friend or common law wife left him after five years. He hit some low depths he explained how just before i arrived at his door one night that he was dying (he had his pistol out) and was laying on the floor praying for god to send him a sign so he could live. Thats where i come in, i had been over three hours away that night but while eating breakfast at around three a.m. I noticed this hat someone had left behind on a table in front of me it had an insignia on it that immediately made me think about my bass player friend, i said a quick postive thought for him and purchased the hat from the waitress and drove to see my friend to make sure he was okay.
I hadn't seen him in almost two years but when it came over me to go, see him i went cause i have learned over the years we all have the ability to intercede for others. He was over joyed to see me and when he saw me he said, of course it makes sense who else would he have sent (all my musician friends know i try to stay close to the source).
My friend went own to tell me the story above in the first paragraph. Oh and i gave him the hat.
When i first heard this song i loved it. I do like other fray songs too. But then i listened to the lyrics more closely, and to me it sounds like this:
the guy's girlfriend leaves him, and he feels terrible. When he's "lying on the ground" he had commited suicide, and "you found me" tells me that the girl felt guilty but when she visited him she was "just a little late. " i know there are a lot of ways this song could be taken, but this is just how i see it.
Well i guess this song is about g0d (but i dont thnk im 1 of th0se religion fanatics,no ofense)... How he think god is unfair for taking his everything(or his love) nd datz ol.. ^^
