Those of you who watch the show Lost will probably recognize this song. It is the newest single from "The Fray"... You Found Me.
It's not available for my playlist yet, because the CD doesn't come out until January... So you will have to go listen on Youtube.

Lyrically, this is one of the best songs I have ever heard. And I totally love the fact that "Christian bands" like the Fray aren't pegged as being a "Christian Band", giving them the ability to reach SO many more people. The first time I heard this song was when they performed it live during the Fox Music Awards (Or something like that) in front of thousands of people who I guarantee you would gawk and the thought of listening to the stereo typical "Christian Band". And between listening to Air One and 94.9 the River, I have heard it about 10 times on the River, and not once on Air One, but if you listen to the words, how could you not hear the message behind it? The song starts with "I found God"! Can't get anymore clear than that. Though you could argue whether the song is about finding a girl, or finding God, I would argue it is about God finding us when we need him the most.
Anyways, here are the lyrics, and go listen!
I found God
on the corner of First and Amistad
Where the west
was all but won
All along
Smoking his last cigarette
I said, where've you been?
He said, ask anything.
Where were you?
When everything was falling apart.
All my days spent by the telephone.
And all I needed was a call
It never came
To the corner of Firs tand 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.
But in the end
Everyone ends up alone
Losing hope
The only one who's ever known
Who I am, Who I'm not, Who I want to be
No way to know
How long she will be next to me
I've been calling for years and years
and you've never left me no messages
Never sent me no letters
on the corner of First and Amistad
Where the west
was all but won
All along
Smoking his last cigarette
I said, where've you been?
He said, ask anything.
Where were you?
When everything was falling apart.
All my days spent by the telephone.
And all I needed was a call
It never came
To the corner of Firs tand 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.
But in the end
Everyone ends up alone
Losing hope
The only one who's ever known
Who I am, Who I'm not, Who I want to be
No way to know
How long she will be next to me
I've been calling for years and years
and you've never left me no messages
Never sent me no letters
