"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 found God on the corner of First in 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, spent by the telephone that never rang. All I needed was a call that never came. 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? 

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 Im not, and who I wanna be. No way to know how long she will be next to me... Early morning, city breaks. I've been calling for years and years and years and years and you never left me no messages; never sent me no letters; you've got some kind of nerve taking all of our world. 


Lost and insecure, you found me. Lying on the floor, where were you? Lost and insecure, you found me. Lying on the floor, surrounded, surrounded. Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Just a little late, you found me.


Why'd you have to wait, to find me?
