  • This isn't about a girlfriend. It's about how the singer has lost all faith and respect for the God that was never there for him. He's basically saying "Where were you when I needed you?"

  • Love it

  • i almost died, i was so lost and so scared. i was broken and i couldn't move. where were you? i called out at least a thousand times, until my voice could make sound no more. there was never a reply. finally, i pulled myself out of the hell that i had fallen into. it was the hardest thing i'd ever done, and it still is. and when i came out i wasn't even the same person. God, i'm not mad at you, i'm angry with the world. now, you are here and i am safe. please, do not leave me...

  • good job dear(:

  • i love this song there songs are always so sad and hopeful love it!!!!!!!!

  • This is my favorite song by The Fray. :] I love it.. Where were you when everything was falling apart?

  • I love GOD

  • @mcataa amen.

  • I love this song so much...I can listen to it over and over again and never get sick of it.

  • My point of view is the guy is dead, and he is saying that god waited "why d;you have to wait" and he is "surrounded, surrounded" by people, but he doesnt understand why god waited until he was dead to come, and why he couldnt save him when everything was just starting to go wrong. But i suppose each person sees it differently thats how i see it :)

  • Thats how i saw it too! :-D

  • i love this song so much sometimes ,when i think of this song i think about this boy i liked but he did not like me he liked my friend shirley

  • ...tells how the man never heard God's call, so he never responded. Then the song transfers to his "girlfriend" or ex or whoever and he's saying how he called out for help to her and she responded too late. The second chorus repeat is talking about the man and the girlfriend, while the ending chorus is talking to everyone in general...Or at least that's how I see it.

  • The song is telling a story about how he killed himself and he saw God on the corner of First and Amistad, where I'm supposing he lives, as an old man smoking a cigarette. He asks where God was in his life on Earth, so God tells him to ask him any question. The song goes on telling about how the man found God just a little too late in his life. When the song says, "I've been calling...for years and years," It's talking about how God calls to us and the part "You never left me no messages"...

  • (y) good song =]

  • The Fray <33 I love this song

  • guys i dont think they are talking about god

    i think they are talking about a girl that left him and came 2 late

    thats what i think

  • LOL he SAYS in the lyrics I FOUND GOD.....

  • @noobwhatcher REEEALLLYYY? no shit sherlock 

  • @BabyChaos1000 xD that made me laugh xD

    thanx 4 making my day :)

  • @TotaHardylover Lol lawling lawlie lol

  • @honglodo no he said in an interview it was all about God. the lead singer is a christian and said he wrote this song when he was going through a really tough and challengeing part in his life. he said it was a song about how he felt he was with God. a song of anger to God. he then said I'm still angry now, and this song still means as much to me as it did then.

  • hes not a christan singer hes piano rock

  • @tightsharkyj but he writes christian songs

  • im lost nd insecure i wish u could find me ;(

  • Love it sooooooooooooo much....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Boar ich liebe den song xD

  • One word. Awsome!!!!!!!!!

  • our song

  • this song is soo goood :')

  • to me this is a bitter atheist song. The man believed in God but God wasnt there for him when he needed him the most. This is how I felt. This is why I've switched religions. I love this song. I can relate to it.

  • this is a christian band smart one

  • alright idiot. Nowhere in my comment did I say it wasnt. It sounds like thats what the song is about. I wasnt talking about the band I was talking bout the song. Smart one..

  • jesus christ! its a song, nothing more nothing less. i'm starting to get annoyed at people having arguments over youtube videos over god, and satan and what ever the song appears to be about, or whos singing it.

    ITS A SONG. GET OVER IT.

  • @tazsoxandcoareawsome@ god created us and gave us free will to choose if we are gonna be corrupted or not.....thats the whole meaning of life u create your destiny and you chose what will happen next.before you doanything though u have to know that for every little thing u do there is a conciquence.

  • agreed

  • Comment removed

  • Telling people that what they believe is wrong just makes them angry and bitter. doesn't help a thing.

  • αη∂ αℓℓ ι ηєє∂є∂ ωαѕ α ¢αℓℓ :'(

  • Beautiful song... :*(

  • yeah but think about it if "god" excisted and he was creater of all why doesnt he show himself to all.........i will only agree he exsists if he appears at some event that has alot of iews.........and this supreme being that was mentioned might be the actuall universe........so i leave you to think about this question....if "god" really existed then why will he create us to disobey him or to do evil and curuptive thing???....think about that befoer telling me that "god" is almighty and real

  • @tazsoxandcoareawsome

    Yes God created us, but the reason we are disobedient is because we have allowed ourselves to listen to the devil. He doesnt show himself to us because his pureness and almighty power is to much for the humanly body. It would kill us to be in such power. once we die and go to heaven we will see his face.

  • god doesnt have a body.he isnt a human. and u can see god all around you.....

  • @25837a Really? I don't see him anywhere here.

    God damn it. God is ficticious. Why do people think he's some kind of person.

    I love using the "God damn it" and "Jesus Christ" expressions even though I do not believe in God, but I use it when talking to idiots like you.

    God damn it, you're seriously stupid. Har.

  • @TheEoli wow u dnt believe in god wow just wow not disrespectin ur religion or nuttin but wow watevs

  • @TheEoli I personally believe in god but i dnt thin trying to explain ur part is gonna work tbh its ur choice, you believe wat u wanna believe and the other person who is sayin god is real can believe that but dnt argue over it cos neither of u are gonna prove that ur right :/ Ur choice what you choose. Good song ;)

  • maybe god exsist but me, ungrateful girl, dont believe in him.

    being a god isnt just power. and he never came...

  • spunkyrea i agree with some of your points except i thing if poeple dont want to find someone like that (E.G. me, very strongly) they shouldnt have to.....also i like the way you say you find it annoying tht people tell atheists what to believe.....and i just want to say that if people do that because they think atheists are undiciede then they are wrong...........we are very much decided....i am so much i would like to say that i dont think i should religiously by catorgorized as a non-believer

  • Were the west

    was all but WON not ONE xDD

  • Ok. I'm a christian and all but i'm tired of people telling Atheists what to believe. Yes you should believe in god and live a holy life but it's also not christian like to tell them they're wrong. Just lead them to Christ.

  • @spunkyrae You rck go god!!!!!!!!!!

  • This song is awesome!!!!!!!!!! Btw what is "confirmation" and if its religious in a big way then i probobly never hear of it. Plus it is a really long word to i would know anyway. Wooooo go my Hippopotomonstrosesquippedalio­phobia--------Fear of long words =)

  • hahahaha im taking confirmation too !! and i just got back from my retreat and i heard this song..so inspirational

  • i am taking confirmation right now! its sooooooo fun! i loooove it! GOD IS AMAZING and if you dont know him, then u definetely should get to know him... its an awesome feeling to go to church and praise the lord who has created us! btw this song kicks butt! haha just like me in vball.. (that was random) =]

  • hahaha!! TOTALLY!! the vball part to lol. and soccer and football...

  • for all u Atheists out there, think about it..there must be a superior being that is greater and larger than us..believe this or not but the person who owned titanic said not even God can sink it...guess what it sink! God will forgive u all for thinking he dont exist and as a strong believer in Christ i will pray for all, because u guys are all up in this illusion called science!

  • so by your theory god killed all those people cuz some ramdom guy said so? just to probe he was wrong? all the childs, all the women, all the men in that boat had to die in the blistery cold waters of the ocean.. just to probe him worng? thats human's nature not god's.. people now days its so stupid that they cant put a decent argument out there.. not a non-beliver btw, i just think you are stupid

  • i wish i could ssay i respect ur belief but i will be lying...God is magnificent, u just dont know him. u call me stupid..but look at u? sweetie ask urself this...who made me? who gave me breath? who created man? i wont watse time talking with u because ur so no work it! God is everlasting, the ruler and the creator of the earth!...i rest my case!

  • yet again.. you are just relyin your believes theories into convergent fear, and take the few casualties that randomly happened in the past to probe further interrogatives.. in other words, lets say.. my neighbors are so healthy that not even god could kill them.. by your stupid argument cuz i said that they are healthy they must be killed, or when they die you can take that to say god did that to probe me wrong.. its stupid..btw.. not even god can kill you.. have a nice day tomorrow

  • u have it twisted honey! i merely said that as an explanation to the mysterious ways in which God works. Listen i have always listen to ppl saying stuff about not believing in God..well everyone is entitled to their beliefs and i do wish that God will forgive u for all u been saying about him. but hey there must be a supreme being that is higher than us! what is ur take on that?

  • naah.. if you were a more objective person i would keep replyin you back.. youve proven not to be one.. i do believe in god but i dont go everywhere saying that everything happens cuz he sais so and try to justify human erros with god punishments, we do make mistakes and suffer by or own you know? titianic sank cuz nobody was lookin after it, not cuz god has something to probe and even less for someone like you to try to make people love him out of fear

  • what is human? who created human? who gave u breath? answer me those, then we can actually reach somewhere in this debate that is really irrelevant because even now u have not told me if u believe that there is a supreme being that is more greater and powerful than us...answer those questions plz i would really like to know what goes through the mind of an atheist who dare question the wonderful work of God!

  • ok... look i just told you i believe damn.. take your time to read! you are tryin so hard to try to convince people that you dont see what is in front of your face, and by your answer i can tell you just label as atheist anyone who doesnt agree with you! but whatev.. i dont really care

  • i am never a atheist nor will i ever me i am strictly a person who's ultimate aim in life is to uphold the teaching of the Bible and praise my father (God) who is creator of this universe!

  • you dont seem to understand english very well

  • i agree with randompop they put some true stuff like why should you blame god for your mistakes without him we would be living the worst live ever wait.. we wouldnt be alive without him and without jesus we would all be horrible people we love him and why should we mock them for giving us our wonderful life they gave us life so why in the world would we blame them for our choices not thiers and some of you might think I am dumb for saying this but I love god and jesus so why in the would i mock.

  • Hate to say it, but this is youtube.

    There are a lot of atheist (including myself) and they will mock you and god, if they choose.

    I don't mean to offend you, don't get me wrong, just saying.

  • thank you =) and ur soo right to! y wuld any1 mock?? i love god and jesus to, and i'm proud to be gods child and jesus sister!

  • i am proud also! Love God to the fullest!

  • yaa!!

  • thank you.. -_-

  • not on limewire... but i downloaded it at tubemusicdownload com check it out

  • To me, it sounds like this guy was all tore up about his girl leaving him. and he was rlly wanting her to call him, or to come back. He left her messages for "years and years and years and years," but she never replied back. So... He committed suicide. And either he's talking about his girl finding him and being too late, or that God was too late to help him out. I guess it could whichever the listener wants it to be. If anyone has their own theory of what it's about, plz reply to my comment.

  • sound like you thought it out...

  • i TOTALY agree great theory

  • Great song! ♥

  • aww thanks, sum people wuldnt understand it cuz of their religgion, but they shuld know that all that's tru =D

  • i love this song, and his voice is amazing, i bet if a ton of singer(famous) tried out for american idol lotz wouldnt make it, and i bet he would make it and be at least the top 5!!!

  • I love this song.

    When i went to Disney World i kept

    listening to this song.Brings

    back alot of memories.

  • i love this song. i go in these weird phases when i like just one song. but i think this song will stick with me forever<3

  • Exactly wat I wuz looking 4!!!! Exactomento!!!! :0)

  • this song make me cry!!!!!!!!!!

    love this song!!!!

    it is awsome

  • i love the song but its NOT about religon

  • i love it!!!!!!!! what font is tht???

  • i luv this fkn song. well the 1st 20 seconds r the best with out doubt.

  • i dont even think hes talkin about God, hes talking about his wife died or something and hes sad and wanted god to fix it but he didnt and he took her, and now hes really sad.... =(

  • God is who and what you make of him. I personally don't believe but thats me, I know lots that do. To be honest I think it makes them better people. If god does or doesn't exsist isn't an issue or shouldn't be the belief in him make people want to do the right thing and that is worth dealing with the some times annoying faith of others... at least I think so...

    Kitty

  • Stop arguing about God. For me and lots of others he's very special and it really pisses me of that some of you just can't accept that. If you don't believe in him, fine. But leave out the ones how do believe that God is there. And for the rest, I like this song very much.

  • shut the hell up

  • good on you ! i love an believe in god ! one day i was waiting for a bus and it usually comes every 10 minutes but i REALLY needed the toilet and it was held up and took an hour and a half longer (you can imagine how i must have felt) so i prayed to god that the bus would come(not something you pray for but that was all i could think about)and i heard a tingle and looked around and there it was that wonderfull LATE bus!

  • @garryw916 o.o really??!

  • o_O coool

  • @garryw916 LMFAO lol that was soo funny. I feel ya!

  • rofl dude, like i'm almost always late when i run to the bus stop for the bus stop, so before i arrive there i usually pray that the bus would arrive, and like it's been happening. Straight after i pray, like the bus comes outta the corner and i sprint. rofl.

  • @UltimateStylez umm what are you trying to say exactly?

  • awesome song!

  • why dont you people get a life, if you like it you listen it, if you dont than where the fuck are you talking about. that doesnt matter what kind of religion you've got. You dont need one to listen to it, i dont have one. I like the song anyway.

    Go Fuck Yourself!

  • this song is so wunderful=)

  • i love this song, and i wish all of the people under me would stop fighting about religions and god. I dont belive in god, and i dont have an religion. i only belive in what i see, but that doesnt mean that im going to come here and destroy this song and diss other peoples feeling and religions. So please JUST SHUT UP!

    if you dont like the meaning of the song, or dont like the song dont watch this video. its so annoying when people do that..

  • @torzukki yu cnt see da wind either but yu no3 ihts derr jus sayin dahts how ppl put iht tah meh im not tryin tah fight ya bout iht

  • no, but thats different, i was just saying my opinion because i felt all of theese bad comments kinda destroyed the nice video

  • Seeing religion so intertwined with these comments makes me wanna say this:

    I don't give a shit if God fucked up everything or if he exists or not. We can fix "the shit he fucked up". I believe he didn't fuck anything up.

    He can exist, I believe he exists.

    You can say he doesn't exist, and he won't exist.

    This is a song, don't spread your religious beliefs all over the comments page.

  • amen to that. i hate it when people try shoving their shit down my face.

  • you guys now that its the music to LOST!

    there is nothing with religion or so on :D????

  • I'm athiest. I listen to this song because it's good music. It has nothing to do with what I believe in. Sometimes you just have to appreciate the fact that it's just music. And that it has nothing to do with religion or whatever...

  • nobody cares about your religion

  • this is a song people....personal beliefs dont matter...i opened the link to this video to listen to the music and appreciate musical talent, so why the debates about religion? whoever wants to argue about that should do it someplace else, not here, jeesh...why dont i hear comments like "oh the chord progression of this song is great" or the scale he based the melody to this song are great, or something appreciating the music.....jesus christ........

  • @grlthatloves Im sorry for u i wish u could go and find ur dad one of these days Pray To saint Antoine When i lost somthing i found it back I hope u could find ur dad one of these days

  • i think that everyone has an opinion, but guys its a fucking song.

    just because it says god, doesnt mean u have to go on an all out debate on religion. idc what the hell u r, shut the hell up, no one wants to hear this.

  • God is not a guinie we don't tell him to fix something when u need it then tell him to go back into his little lamp until u need him again

  • TOLL

  • i loveeeeeeeeee!!!

    is magnifike!!

  • Dios te amo eres todo para mi y todo ocurre por una razon

  • iluvit

  • I've been reading the comments you people have posted and I find it ridiculous. It's just a song. Take whatever you want from it, but calling someone a "twat" or claiming that "god is destroying all our world" is a waste of time. Argue on a video that asks for your opinions. Thanks.

  • I pretty much am right with jazzyr1291. It's a song peeps. You have to believe what you wish. To you this could be an atheist supporting song. OR on the other hand it could be just a definition that no God isn't going to help you out unless you pray for it, he's not like that can of soup you eat when you want to/need to. (Metaphor from Church lol)

    Anyway it could be whatever you want but bashing somebody for their beliefs is disgusting and makes you look worse.

  • I agreen with Kewl438 and seriously stop being all butt-hurt nd just enjoy the song if you dont like it then dont listen sheesh its that easy. T.T ANYWAY i like this song (;/

  • actually he is sayin when he was at his worst he thought god was doing nothing about it but what he doesnt understand is that god plans our whole life and when we lose something theres something better in the future now stop sayin he is makin god look bad!

  • Amazing Video (:

  • Guys, this song doesn't put god in a good light. It's saying that god never helped him. So why is everybody like "god is awesome!" when he's "destroying all our world"?

  • @pillsome195  I agree with you

  • @toninumber4 u are a dirty protestant twat

  • yeah I am protestant, but not a twat, I just see and listen to what the song is saying, sorry you are so narrow minded and find it necessary to call names, wow your argument is soooo good, congrats to you buddy!

  • you do realise you don't even know the person, what gives you the right to judge another human being???

  • that was a reply to pillsome195s comment.

  • Well, that's the Irony of the idea of God. We say that he is the reason for everything. But if that's true, where did free will go? Is it god's fault they're dead, or is it the Doctor's fault who poisoned Michael Jackson? Is it McDonald's fault for providing food that damages people's hearts and kills them, or is that God/The Devil? It's all very contradictory.

  • yeah.. but yet again he is the reason why we are here..why we live.. etc. I agree.

  • thats call free will buddy, we decide what to do to our bdies, and our lives, we want GOD to stop everything bad, but if we think fare, then HE should stop eveyrhing good as well

  • That's what I mean. Why is it the Devil's fault for bad things and not our own? Why is God praised for something that we as humans did ourselves? If it was really his hand in the matter, and not ours, then we don't really have free will. If anything, we have semi will, being able to make certain decisions that don't directly affect us because they have to move through God/The Devil first.
