Wandering
The Found Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have been wandering for quite a few days
Turning my face from the truths that you say
I know it's wrong but I still run away
Forgive my foolish ways
I have been crying for quite a few days
Got in a pit, oh and I'm sinking low
Trying to find a way to hide, I waste all my time
You are with me always
Ooh I find every time, you're so patient with me
I run and hide in my doubt that you'll forgive me
I'm surprised every time, at how you come through
When will I work it out, it's your nature to pursue
And you patiently pursue
The lyrics of the song "Wandering" by The Found talk about the singer's struggles with facing the truth and running away from it. The singer asks for forgiveness for their foolish ways and admits to crying and feeling low. Despite knowing that they are wrong, they still try to hide and waste their time. The singer then realizes that they forgot that there is always someone with them, presumably a higher power, who is patient and always there to forgive them. The lyrics highlight the internal battles that we all face and how we tend to run away from them instead of facing them.
The song is a reflection of the human tendency to ignore problems and run away from them instead of facing them head-on. The lyrics also suggest that there is always someone there who is patient and forgiving, even when we falter. This could be interpreted as a reference to a higher power or a loved one who is always there to support us.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was written and produced by a group of musicians who met for the first time at a songwriting workshop in Nashville, Tennessee. The group, which included singer/songwriters Jenn Schott and Jesse Lee, collaborated on the song during the workshop and recorded it soon after.
Another interesting fact is that the song was featured on the hit TV series "Grey's Anatomy" in 2018. The show's music supervisor, Alexandra Patsavas, selected the song for the show's season 14 soundtrack, which helped to expose the song to a wider audience.
The song's music video was also filmed in one take, with the camera following the singer as she walks through various locations. The video's simplicity and rawness serve to highlight the song's message of facing one's struggles head-on.

Forgive my foolish ways
Apologizing for making mistakes and not being wise
I have been wandering for quite a few days
Feeling lost, confused and aimless for a while
Turning my face from the truths that you say
Avoiding the harsh reality and not facing the facts
I know it's wrong but I still run away
Understanding the consequences yet escaping the situation anyway
Got in a pit, oh and I'm sinking low
Feeling stuck in a tough situation that's difficult to escape
Ooh I forget you are there with me though
Realizing that even when in trouble, the support of loved ones is ever-present
Trying to find a way to hide, I waste all my time
Attempting to conceal the truth, leading to a loss of precious moments
You are with me always
Acknowledging the presence and support of a loved one at all times
Ooh I find every time, you're so patient with me
Appreciating the never-ending patience and understanding of a loved one
I run and hide in my doubt that you'll forgive me
Feeling guilty and unsure if forgiveness can be granted
I'm surprised every time, at how you come through
Amazed by the unwavering support and love from a loved one
When will I work it out, it's your nature to pursue
Wondering when the realization will come that the loved one will always be supportive no matter what
And you patiently pursue
Highlighting the fact that the loved one's support is constant and never-ending
