...

Step one you say we need to talk He walks you say sit down it's just a talk He smiles politely back at you You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right As he goes left and you stay right Between the lines of fear and blame You begin to wonder why you came
Let him know that you know best Cause after all you do know best Try to slip past his defense Without granting innocence Lay down a list of what is wrong The things you've told him all along And pray to God he hears you And pray to God he hears you
As he begins to raise his voice You lower yours and grant him one last choice Drive until you lose the road Or break with the ones you've followed He will do one of two things He will admit to everything Or he'll say he's just not the same And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
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.
Where were you When everything was falling apart?
All my days Were spent by the telephone It never rang And all I needed was a call It never came To the corner of First and Amistad
Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lyin' 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
In the end Everyone ends up alone
Losing her
The only one who's ever known Who I am Who I´m not, who I wanna be
No way to know How long she will be next to me
Early morning The city breaks I've been callin' For years and years and years and years And you never left me no messages Ya never send me no letters You got some kinda nerve Taking all my world
Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lyin' 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

Okay, I have to be honest. I've never really understood the real meaning of this song. Can you help me??

I don't believe I ever did either...but when i heard these two songs the other day they jus made sense to me as i listened in my own way I guess. I think it becomes about what you make it.
