You Found Me.

I found God, On the corner of 1st and Amistad.
Where the west, was all but one.
All alone, Smoking his last cigarette.
I said, "Where have you been?"
He said, "Ask anything."

Where were you? When everything was fallin' apart?
all my days, 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.
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 Fray-

I just wonder what it takes to get a person to this point. Isaac Slade said in an interview, "You Found Me" is a tough song for me. Its about the disappointment, the heart ache, the let down that comes with life. Sometimes you’re let down, sometimes you’re the one who lets someone else down. It gets hard to know who you can trust, who you can count on. This song came out of a tough time, and I’m still right in the thick of it. There’s some difficult circumstances my family and friends have been going through over the past year or so and can be overwhelming. It wears on me. It demands so much of my faith to keep believing, keep hoping in the unseen. Sometimes the tunnel has a light at the end, but usually they just look black as night. This song is about that feeling, and the hope that I still have, buried deep in my chest."

I just thought this was interesting. I was questioning this song. Its one of my favorites and being the nerd that I am, I googled the meaning behind this song. These are the results I got back. I guess I can say that sometimes I agree with him. But I try to remind myself that its not in my control. To keep believing and praying, and God will eventually answer. You can't expect an answer right away. But God will never give anyone more than they can handle. THAT is sometime I truly believe.

peace.
