This song is about blaming God and being angry with him but God had been with him during that entire time, he was just too focused on himself to notice. God listens and loves him even as he angrily accuses Him of waiting too long to find him. But the singer still finds relief in the midst of his anger. Because it took him getting broken to the point of lying on the floor to turn to God (finally opening his eyes and seeing Him in front of him) and he’s angry about that but God asks him in the end after all his ranting “why did you have to wait this long and suffer so long before you let yourself find me? I was here this whole time.”

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
That 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
Lyin' 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 wanna be
No way to know
How long she will be next to me
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lyin' 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
The city breaks
I've been callin'
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
Lyin' on the floor
Where were you? Where were you?
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lyin' 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
:D

This song is my life. I have been through so much. Bullied, taken advantage of, verbal abuse, friends and family, and feeling abandoned by grandma. Everyone asked if I was okay. Days went by and I had so many missed calls and texts. I felt like no one cared. I finally have found friends who love my crazy, funny, goofy, nice self for me and won't take advantage of me. It takes time to feel better but please take the time and don't give up

This song actually helped me get through the passing of my mother. Listening to it, 5 years after her passing I still tear up but, this song will always have a special meaning to me. Right now I feel so much better because I needed to get my emotions out, so thank you, Fray, for this amazing song.

I remember listening to this religiously begging to whatever is up above for reassurance and guidance while I listened to my parents every day as a teenager, fighting and my mom being abused in every which way she could have been. I always wondered why no one was reaching out to help me so "lost & insecure, you found me lying on the floor. Surrounded, why'd you have to wait? Where were you, just a little late. You found me" referred to me just basically barely crawling away from the hell I lived daily.

this song is literally me and a lot of people who pray to god and feel that they have never been answered, then god finally calls back and finds you (me). this song means a lot to me. it has a beautiful meaning. I know now that I listen to this song that I am not the only one who feels that way. :) yes, this song is about God.

The comments have a lot of people saying how the lyrics remind them of their own stories of being abused or grieving, but for me, this song reminds me of my very happy childhood growing up in an upper middle class, beautiful neighborhood, playing piano, having crushes on girls at school, flirting as a kid, playing video games, etc. This song also reminds me of my older sister because it was in her iTunes and that’s where I first heard it. It’s beautiful and I connect this song with beauty and happiness in my brain - even if the lyrics send an opposite message.
