You Found Me
Discovering Redemption at 1st and Amistad
Lyrics
I found God on the corner of 1st and Amistad
Finding a spiritual connection at the intersection of 1st and Amistad.
Where the West was all but won
Reflecting on a historical moment where the Western frontier was nearly conquered.
All alone, smoking his last cigarette
God is portrayed as lonely, smoking a final cigarette.
I said, "Where you been?" He said, "Ask anything"
Questioning God's whereabouts and receiving an open invitation to inquire anything.
Where were you when everything was falling apart?
Asking where God was during personal struggles and challenges.
All my days were spent by the telephone that never rang
Spending days waiting for a call that never came.
And all I needed was a call that never came
Expressing the need for a call that never materialized.
To the corner of 1st and Amistad
Returning to the intersection of 1st and Amistad.
Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Feeling lost and insecure, but being found by someone.
Lying on the floor surrounded, surrounded
Being physically surrounded while lying on the floor.
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Questioning why the finder waited and where they were during the struggle.
Just a little late, you found me, you found me
Expressing a sense of being found just a little too late.
But in the end everyone ends up alone
Reflecting on the inevitability of solitude in the end.
Losing her, the only one who's ever known
Lamenting the loss of the one who truly understands.
Who I am, who I'm not and who I wanna be
Contemplating identity and aspirations.
No way to know how long she will be next to me
Uncertainty about how long someone special will remain close.
Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Reiteration of feeling lost and insecure but being found.
Lying on the floor surrounded, surrounded
Being physically surrounded while lying on the floor (repeated imagery).
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Repeating questions about the timing and location of the finder.
Just a little late, you found me, you found me!
Reiterating the feeling of being found a little too late.
The early morning, the city breaks
Transitioning to a new day with the city waking up.
And I've been calling for years and years and years and years
Persistent attempts to contact someone over many years.
And you never left me no messages
Not receiving any messages despite the long wait.
You never sent me no letters
No physical correspondence, no letters received.
You got some kind of nerve taking all I want!
Expressing frustration at having desires taken away.
Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Reiterating the feeling of being lost and insecure but found.
Lying on the floor, where were you? Where were you?
Questioning the whereabouts during the challenging times.
Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Repetition of feeling lost and insecure but being found.
Lying on the floor surrounded, surrounded
Recalling the physical situation of lying on the floor (repeated imagery).
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Repeating questions about the timing and location of the finder.
Just a little late, you found me, you found me!
Reiterating the feeling of being found a little too late.
Why'd you have to wait to find me, to find me?
Questioning why the finder waited to discover the speaker.
