You Found Me

Over the last couple of years I have become a fan of The Fray. This week they released their newest album. I Of course, I quickly added to my I-Tunes library. I really like the sound of the new single You Found Me, however, I am having a hard time making sense of it. Here are the lyrics:

You Found Me
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 a telephone
That never rang and all I needed was a call
That never came to the corner of First and 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

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
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

Early morning the city breaks and I've been calling for years and years
You never left me no messages, You never send me no letters
You got some kind of nerve taking all I want
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
Any thoughts on the meaning? I am kinda lost on this one. I guess I have had a hard time getting past the whole cigarette line. I have a hard time picturing God with a cigarette.
