A few years ago a sweet little four-man band popped out of Denver, Colorado and changed a lot of peoples lives through their music and message of love and hope. That band, appropriately called The Fray has seemingly been in hiding for almost two years now.
Some people may have heard their previous hits, Cable Car and How to Save a Life, or my personal favorite, She Is...
Well after being overplayed tremendously on the radio and every primetime TV show from One Tree Hill to Grey's Anatomy to even CSI (I thought they solved crimes?), I began to wonder if they could overcome the fame and produce a decent sophomore album.
Well my good friends, it seems the time is upon us and The Fray has finished their new album which is self-titled and for pre-sale on their website: The Fray
The first release off the album is entitled, "You Found Me." It's written about hard times and loss and being found. Here are the lyrics:
You Found Me
By Isaac Slade/Joe King/The Fray
//Verse 1//
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.”
//Verse 2//
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
It never came
To the corner of First and Amistad
//Chorus 1//
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
//Verse 3//
In the end
Everyone ends up alone
Losing her
The only one who’s ever known
Who I am
Who I’m not, and who I want to be
No way to know
How long she will be next to me
//Chorus 2//
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
//Bridge//
Early morning
The city breaks
I’ve been calling
For years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve
Taking all I want
//Chorus 3 and outro//
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?
This song speaks volumes to me, because it is kind of in tune with how I have been feeling lately about life and all that comes with it. I guess the more I listen to it, the more I begin to understand that people find us a lot of times and we don't realize how important the FINDING can actually be.
I'll continue to ponder this until the full album is released!
