You Found Me
The Frays Lyrics

I found God on the corner of First in Amistad
The singer encountered God on the outskirts of a turning point in life's journey, where the outcome was uncertain.

Where the west was all but won
The situation was looking bleak and hopeless.

All alone
The singer was feeling isolated and disconnected from everything.

Smoking his last cigarette
God appeared to the artist as if he was nearing the end of a journey.

I said where you been?
The artist questioned God's whereabouts during the difficult times.

He said, ask anything
God offered to provide answers and help to the singer.

Where were you When everything was falling apart?
The singer questions why God wasn't present during difficult times of their life.

All my days Spent by the telephone That never rang
The artist spent their time waiting for someone to reach out to them, but they never received any calls or support.

And all I needed was a call That never came From the corner of First and Amistad
The artist was eagerly waiting for a call or a form of support from the people they trusted, without any helpful outcome.

Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lying on the floor Surrounded, surrounded Why'd you have to wait? Where were you, where were you? Just a little late You found me, you found me
The artist was lost, disconnected, and hopeless, but then someone arrived to help them when it seemed too late.

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
No matter how many connections one makes, everyone ends up alone in some way. The singer lost the only one who knew them better than others and is clueless about the future, where they'll find someone else.

Early morning City breaks I've 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
The artist has been calling for years but received no response from the individual, who took away everything they wanted.

Why'd you have to wait To find me? To find me?
The singer questions the reason behind the person's delayed arrival, why they didn't come sooner, leaving them with the thought that the help could have been useful at an earlier time.
