This in my interpretation; a song can mean whatever it wants to you, thats why people write them.
I found God on the corner of 1st and Amistad
Where the West was all but won
All alone, smoking his last cigarette
I said, "Where you been?" He said, "Ask anything."
(I think guy has killed him self at this place. and now that he is dead he finds out there is a higher power)
Where were you, when everything was falling apart?
All my days were spent by the telephone that never rang
And all I needed was a call that never came
To the corner of 1st and Amistad
(I think before he killed himself he was looking for a reason to live, possibly praying and looking for an answer from God. Whether this answer came from a friend or family. In the form of a letter or call when he needed it most. But he says that answer, that reason, never came)
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.
(he was feeling lost and insecure. and now that he is dead god is finaly there. lying on the floor surrounded is probly refering to him being dead. he is now probaly surrouned by police and EMS. Maybe friends or family that he needed are there now. And he's asking god why he had to wait til now to show him self. Hes saying its just alil late because he cant undo killing himself. )
But 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 wanna to be
No way to know how long she will be next to me
(Maybe his gf left him beacuse of him always having a bad outlook on life, or maybe he was holding her down with him or something like that. And she was the person who knew more about him than anyone else. Now she is there next to him amongst the chaos. but he knows this is the last time she will be next to him because he is no longer alive.)
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.
(repeat)
The early morning, the city breaks
And I've been calling for years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve taking all I'm worth
(now he is tlkign to god again about how all this time he was waithing for an answer. and he sayin hes got some kinda nerve because god could have saved him if he woulda just shown him self. but he waited n it cost this guy everything, including his life)

Why'd you have to wait, to find me, to find me?
