KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whatever it takes to, get there
No, I won't drop you
Like everybody else does
Forget about your friends
They don't care where we go if they do
We'll get lost in a crowd of people
Forever, baby, we go
Together, baby, we go, we go
In this crazy world of choices
I've only got a few
Either you're coming with me or
I'm coming with you
'Cause I finally found, I finally found you
You never have to worry if what I say is true
Girl, I've been looking for you
And when I saw you I knew
That I finally found, I finally found you
I'm coming, I'll get ya, yeah
We have a connection, that's right
'Cause girl, I'm not letting go
I'm gonna make you feel right, oh yeah
Forget about your friends
They don't care where we go if they do
We'll get lost in a crowd of people
I've been looking for you
Forever, baby, we go
Together, baby, we go, we go
In this crazy world of choices
I've only got a few
Either you're coming with me or
I'm coming with you
'Cause I finally found, I finally found you
You never have to worry if what I say is true
Girl, I've been looking for you
And when I saw you I knew
That I finally found, I finally found you
In this crazy world of choices
I've only got a few
Either you're coming with me or
I'm coming with you
'Cause I finally found, I finally found you
Finally, finally, finally found you
Finally, finally, finally found
Finally found, I finally found you
You know I'm gon' get ya, yeah
The lyrics of You Found Me by Kidz Bop speak about a person who has been feeling lost and alone, waiting for someone to come to their rescue. The song opens with the singer finding God on the street corner, and the lyrics later go on to picturize the singer's feelings of disappointment and abandonment. The lines "Where were you when everything was falling apart? All my days were spent by the telephone that never rang" depict the sense of despair the singer feels, while the lyric "Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me" indicates that someone has finally come to their aid.
Further, the lyrics speak of the singer's feelings towards someone they have lost, possibly a loved one. The lines "But in the end, everyone ends up alone, losing her, the only one who's ever known who I am, who I'm not and who I wanna be, no way to know how long she will be next to me" express the sense of preciousness of the relationship they had with this person.
Towards the end, the lyrics question why the person who eventually came to the singer's aid had to wait so long, with "Why'd you have to wait to find me, to find me?"
Overall, the song speaks of the need for human connection and how the feeling of being alone can be crushing. While religion is mentioned in the song, the themes are universal and can be applied by anyone regardless of beliefs.
Line by Line Meaning
I found God on the corner of 1st and Amistad
I stumbled upon a revelation on the street corner where the West was almost conquered
Where the West was all but won
This corner was a central location during an important event in Western history
All alone, smoking his last cigarette
God, in his final moments of solitude, enjoyed his last cigarette
I said, "Where you been?" He said, "Ask anything"
I asked God where he's been and he said that he knows everything and I can ask him anything
Where were you when everything was falling apart?
When things were going wrong, where were you in my time of need?
All my days were spent by the telephone that never rang
I was always waiting by the phone for something that never came
And all I needed was a call that never came
I just needed a simple phone call that I never received
To the corner of 1st and Amistad
I longed for that moment on the street corner where I found myself and God
Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
I was directionless and scared, but you came and found me
Lying on the floor surrounded, surrounded
I was alone, struggling, and overwhelmed
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
I don't understand why you waited so long to find me and help me
Just a little late, you found me, you found me
Even though you found me late, you still found me and that's what matters
But in the end everyone ends up alone
Regardless of everything in life, everyone will eventually be alone
Losing her, the only one who's ever known
I lost the one person who truly knew me for who I am
Who I am, who I'm not and who I wanna be
She understood all aspects of me, including who I am not and who I aspire to be
No way to know how long she will be next to me
I don't know how long I will have someone by my side who knows me so well
The early morning, the city breaks
The city wakes up and comes alive in the early hours of the morning
And I've been calling for years and years and years and years
I've been trying to reach out to someone for help for so many years
And you never left me no messages
You never reached out to me, left messages, or showed any signs of caring
You never sent me no letters
You never wrote to me, even though I yearned for some kind of connection
You got some kind of nerve taking all I want!
You have the audacity to take everything I desire without offering anything in return
Why'd you have to wait to find me, to find me?
Why did it take so long for you to come find me and offer me the guidance and support I needed?
