You Know Where To Find Me Lyrics

I saw your sky fall down today
Suddenly turn from blue to gray
'Til one by one the raindrops
Turned to tears upon your face
Wish there was something I could do
Wish I could ease the pain from you
But I've never felt so helpless
It's like you're drowning right in front of me
And I'm reaching out but you can't see
There's something holding on to you so tight
So I guess this is all I'll say to you tonight

If you ever need me
You know where to find me
I will be waiting
Where I've always been
If you ever need me
You know where to find me
I have never left you
I'm where I've always been
Right by your side
Right by your side

If the whole wide world is on your back
If the strength you need is the strength you lack
If you're in a crowd but all alone
If you can't stay here but you can't go home
If you can't answer all the whys
'Cause you're too tired to reach that high
I want you to remember

If you ever need me
You know where to find me
I will be waiting
Where I've always been
If you ever need me
You know where to find me
I have never left you
I'm where I've always been
Right by your side
Right by your side

If the whole wide world is on your back
If the strength you need is the strength you lack
If you're in a crowd but all alone
If you can't stay here but you can't go home
If you can't answer all the why's
'Cause you're too tired to reach that high
I want you to
I need you to remember

If you ever need me
You know where to find me
I will be waiting
Where I've always been
If you ever need me
You know where to find me
I have never left you
I'm where I've always been
Right by your side
Right by your side

I think this song is about God always being there for us whenever we need Him. Whenever we screw up, we are often too ashamed to come back to His throne and ask for forgiveness; we would rather continue to hide ourself in darkness, kinda like Adam and Eve. However, God is ALWAYS with us. We just have to call out to Him. So, instead of hiding, when we do need Him, we know exactly where to find Him and only have to call out.

i'm so confused about the point of views on this song.

this song means so much to me. a friend of mine was there in a time of need but instead of saying anything, she simply had me listen to this song.

to me it has two meanings that are very intertwined into each other. the first is of the greatest friendship. its like, if you dont feel strong enough to face what the world throws at you, you have someone by your side to lean on who will never leave you. no matter what. until the end. I think that God comes into this song as well, because he IS the ultimate friend. He was there "right by your side" at the beginning, He is there now, and He will be there till the end. "If you ever need me You know where to find me I have never left you I'm where I've always been Right by your side" This is so true for Him.

I completely agree with nerdy scarlett: the song is about how God is always there for us.

He's given us freedom of choice as a gift, and the world has made it its mission to offer us countless numbers of choices, millions of alternatives that aren't Him. As a result, when we're weighed down and drowning, we feel ourselves breaking, thinking that we have to struggle through alone, that if we don't, we're weak and there's something wrong with us. But he wants us to know he's always there--that there's nothing wrong with us not being able to bear the burden, because we never could to begin with.

That's why he sent his Son, after all. :)
