Lost And Found
Katie Herzig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Out of the calm of the coldest air
I don't believe the words you said
But I can't find the words I want
Oh, I can't find the words I want
If you were gone in another life
I don't believe I would just survive
An escape from the world I'm in
Oh, I'm afraid of the world I'm in
One day I will see heaven's reach
I'll find the one who left me sleeping
Every war was another seed
That could feed every soul in need
Oh, I'm worn by the war in me
Somebody found me here
Somebody held my breath
Somebody saved me from the world you left
If you're gonna cry my tears
If you're gonna hold my breath
If you're gonna let me see the sun you set
Oh, I am lost and found
Oh, I am lost and found
Somebody found me here
Somebody held my breath
Somebody saved me from the world you left
If you're gonna cry my tears
If you're gonna hold my breath
If you're gonna let me see the sun you set
Oh, I am lost and found
Oh, I am lost and found
The song "Lost and Found" by Katie Herzig portrays the feeling of being lost and trying to find one's way back after someone has left. The first verse is about the singer standing alone, cold, and without the right words to say. She questions the sincerity of the words the other person has said before leaving her, but at the same time, she cannot express the emotions she wants to convey. In the second verse, she reflects on how life would be like without the person who left her. It would feel like an escape from the world she is in, and she would not just survive, but thrive. However, she fears the world she is in, which is a world of war within her.
The chorus is about finding someone who saves her from the pain of being left behind. She had been lost, but now she is found by somebody who gives her hope and helps her to breathe. The bridge depicts an image of the singer searching for her place in the world, and how every war fought could be a seed that could feed every soul in need. The song ends with the chorus repeated, signifying that the person who found her had given her a new hope and a new lease on life.

I know you left me standing there
I am aware that you abandoned me in that moment
Out of the calm of the coldest air
You disappeared without warning, leaving me in a devastating state
I don't believe the words you said
I doubt the veracity of your declarations
But I can't find the words I want
Although I have many things to say to you, I am unable to express them effectively
Oh, I can't find the words I want
I am feeling helpless and lacking the right words to converse with you
If you were gone in another life
If you had disappeared in a different timeline
I don't believe I would just survive
I don't believe that I would have survived the loss of you
I could feel you next to me
I would have been comforted by your presence
An escape from the world I'm in
Your presence would have been an escape from the realities of the world I am currently in
Oh, I'm afraid of the world I'm in
I am fearful of the circumstances that surround me currently
One day I will see heaven's reach
Someday, I will experience blissful happiness
I'll find the one who left me sleeping
I will encounter the person who abandoned me while I was in a state of slumber
Every war was another seed
Every conflict was an opportunity for growth and development
That could feed every soul in need
Those experiences could provide sustenance for anyone who is in need of spiritual nourishment
Oh, I'm worn by the war in me
I am tired of the fighting that goes on inside me
Somebody found me here
Somebody located me in this place
Somebody held my breath
Somebody prevented me from experiencing something disastrous
Somebody saved me from the world you left
Someone saved me from the debilitating pain that you left me in
If you're gonna cry my tears
If you're going to experience the same emotions I have
If you're gonna hold my breath
If you're going to support me and keep me from danger
If you're gonna let me see the sun you set
If you will enable me to experience life's good moments after the bad ones
Oh, I am lost and found
I am currently bewildered and yet, saved and found
Oh, I am lost and found
I am currently bewildered and yet, saved and found

I don't believe the words you said
But I can't find the words I want.
Oh, I can't find the words I want
If you were gone in another life
I don't believe I would just survive.
I could feel you next to me
And escape from the world I'm in.
Oh, I'm afraid of the world I'm in.
One day I will see Heaven's reach.
I'll find the one who left me sleeping.
Every war was another seed
That could feed every soul in need.
Oh, I'm worn by the war in me.
Somebody found me here.
Somebody held my breath.
Somebody saved me from the world you left.
