He doesn't smoke cigarettes. The Lord that Issac is speaking of is another God. The Creator does not sin nor does his only begotten son, Jesus Christ who is sinless and without stain or blemish. We need to keep that into perspective, but to say that "The Fray" are unbelievers or anti-christians is foolish, they believe in God, they don't need a pepsi can to figure that he really exists and yes, he does walk with His Son on His terms and on His timing.

There is a First and Amistad in Quemado, TX but where 1st and Amistad meet in Quemado does not have a corner. I couldn't see God there in Google either but that's the internet for you! I think it is far more likely to be a Denver location - which is where the "west was almost won" - being near a number of locations where massacres of Cheyanne and Arapahoe occurred. Google does show a place called El Centro Amistad (Centre for Friends) having closed on a corner: 205 Canyon Blvd, Boulder, CO. Curiously there is a sequence of streets from this intersection which are numbered but the road at the intersection is Pearl St - which would have been First St if it was ever numbered. I wonder if it might have been re-named but known as First when The Fray members were growing up. It is quite close to where Isaac Slade and Joe King grew up - 25km from Ralston Valley High School. I thought the song was about one of the frequent puzzles about this God guy. Why doesn't he come when you actually need him?

Love is evident through the words "Why'd you have to wait? To find me?" as if by trusting and loving him, the person in the song would have been prevented from experiencing trauma, which God wants. Also, I agree with you that maybe the Fray meant how God's been wanting to be connected to the man. But I guess this doesn't fit too well with "taking all I own" - so maybe its both God and a person having a conversation - where the person is really bitter and God is there with infinite love. I also like Marissa's view - that God finds us, whatever shape and circumstance Hey Chris, I’ve been thinking that way myself, it’s as if God is telling us that we are lost and insecure, and how someone’s just found him.

Then it switches over to God's. The person that had someone close lost God along the way. When the song says "I've been calling.... for years and years and years and you never left me no messages" that is God calling the man. The man lost touch with God and when he finally found him again it was too late because he was dying. The point of view starts off as the guys. Then it switches over to God’s.
