I apologize to all of those who aren't Christian, but this song is definitely about God. I love the Fray because they are in fact all Christians but not really a Christian band; they make music accessible to everyone. While this song is clearly about God, that fact is only clear to a Christian. Basically The Fray does their best not to preach and to write songs that everyone can relate to. Everyone can relate to the feelings that the song discusses, believer or non-believer. The feeling of being alone, being insecure and sometimes feeling like there's nobody you can depend on. The song discusses losing someone you loved.
Even if you aren't a Christian, please don't snub the song just because it has Christian inspiration. Think of it this way, God just happens to be the strongest influence in these mens' lives, so of course it's going to come through in their song writing. You write what inspires passion in you, whether it be love, sadness, God, or any number of other things.
I really like the part where it says:' I said, “Where you been?”
He said, “Ask anything.”' Without this part the meaning of the song would be completely different. With it, it's basically a man crying out to God and asking why it took so long, when really God was there all along but the man just lost sight of that. Without this part, the song wouldn't really be 'Christian'.
I think that darthfodder said it perfectly. For me, God came to me at the exact moment I needed him the most. I have battled with drugs and came very close to losing my life because of them and it was at that moment when I was in the hospital unconcience that I found God. It was late but it is NEVER too late.
