The Fray - You Found Me Lyrics
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
Why’d 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 who’s ever known
Who I am, who I’m not, who I want to be
No way to know how long she will be next to me
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
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
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
Why’d 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

The lyrics listed here are wrong. it’s “I found God, on the corner of first and amistad”, not ‘I found out’.

Those are the lyrics for the version from 2007 when they still hadn’t finished the song - i believe this are the correct ones.. however i copied them by ear sooo its debateable
November 24th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
But what does it mean?
what DO they mean?
November 28th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
i think theyre asking god like where have you been when i needed you,and how come you never helped me out
and why did you wait so long to help me and how come u never ansered my prayers?
this is just a guess

When I listen to it I kinda think God is asking him where he has been…I think it makes more sense.

I found God
On the corner of first and Amistad
Where the west was all but won
All alone, smoking his last cigarette.
^ HUH?
Smoking?????

He means he himself found God at that location. God wasn’t the one smoking.

I believe it’s ‘taking all I won’
instead of ‘all I want’, also. thanks.

By him saying “all alone, smoking his last cigarette” he is referring to God…indicating that while he was going through his problems and praying to him.. God was found in a place that was all but won smoking his “last” cigarette…Also notice how he says “I said where you been?” then God replays back with “ask anything”..

It’s about hopelessness in general, not just in terms of religion. He uses God simply because its a recognizable entity. In essence he’s referring to disappointment caused by a person whom he depended on for support. It’s about being disillusioned; this seemingly incredible being is a regular Joe Schmoe. It touches on the concept of misleading appearances, as well as deceit. It’s really a beautifully written piece. Definitely one of their best…

its kinda confusing as to whos blaming who…
who was not calling who in the song?

this song is great
i rekon its the best song yet out from the fray
its a very meaningful song and to me i think it explains how when he needed god the most, he was never there. But when the troubles were gone, god happens to be there.
